## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 8 km of 54.3957, 24.0389 - Alytus'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 49,195 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-14).
