## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of 50.6607, 14.0323 - Ústí nad Labem's centre as recorded by GeoNames. That radius scales with population and is NOT the administrative city boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears. Population 90,378 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-13).
