Neighbors notifications distance setting not working

I constantly get neighbors post notifications for posts that are several miles from my house even though I have my distance set to 2 miles. I live in a city so there are a lot of posts in the bad neighborhood that’s 3.5 miles away. I don’t want a notification unless it is actually near me. How can I get the setting to work properly?  I can’t share the picture of the post because I’m a new user…
