## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 10 km of 55.7068, 21.1391 - Klaipėda'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 172,292 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-14).
