City level result here. Do you happen to live close to a center point of something?

Yes, that's a reasonable explanation. I'm near enough to the middle of my town for that to be the cause.

Yeah, the geolocation is city/zip level accuracy. The coordinates are the centroid of the city or zip, not a specific point.

Read an article where people were coming to people's houses demanding their phone etc. because the location for that "region" was mapped to their backyard.

It got me within one city block of my location. I’m in NYC.
