## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 12 km of 46.7667, 23.6 - Cluj-Napoca'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 286,598 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-14).
