## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 12 km of 44.1807, 28.6343 - Constanţa'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 317,832 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-14).
