Any standard Twitter API is rate-limited except Streaming API (Firehost). However Streaming API must be approved by Twitter manually.
If radius cap is 100 miles, it should cover most metropolitan area size. In some areas you may not get enough tweets for 200 miles diameter to show sufficient Tweet results in real time or search terms.
