It's a common misconception, but HN users are overwhelmingly not in the Bay Area. When I looked at this a few months ago, the number was about 10%. (Actually between 5% and 14% depending on how you count.)

It does somewhat, hence the range I mentioned. For posting submissions and comments it was 10.9%.
