Absolutely - this wasn't meant to be a be-all-end-all to lead generation by geographical bounds. This was more of a "I had a cool idea, wanted to test it, and here's how I went about doing that" sort of post. There are a ton of things that don't get picked up by social signals, but it's a low enough hanging fruit that I figured it was worth looking into to see if it was even a viable source of data at scale. I think a 'real' analysis of the data at a much larger scale (probably state-wide would be a good test) would yield some interesting data on the effectiveness of this implementation in specific. As mentioned in the post - the circle packing implementation itself is general enough to be used in other applications. The point was to show off a cool potential application for a solution to a non-intuitive problem.
