What we will measure in Illinois, store by store, for all three searches
255 stores on our list sit in Illinois, across 48 of its 102 counties. Each gets the same reading as every other market: an 11×11 grid around its Google pin for “dispensary near me”, “cannabis near me” and “weed near me”.
No Illinois number appears here until its scans land; this page fills itself in as they do, with a board per county and city and a page per store.
The grid reaches 2 miles out from the pin in New Jersey, Rhode Island and Washington DC; in Nevada, 2 miles in Clark County and the Reno area, 5 miles elsewhere; in California, 2 miles in the 12 metro counties of Greater Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area and Sacramento, 5 miles elsewhere. Everywhere else we scan, it reaches 2 miles in the 234 core counties of the New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Boston, Worcester, Providence, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Chicago, St. Louis, Seattle, Portland, San Juan, Hartford, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Virginia Beach, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Raleigh, Memphis, New Orleans, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Tucson, Honolulu, Atlanta, Louisville and Birmingham metro areas and 5 miles elsewhere, all of Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico, Montana and Alaska included.
