As the head researcher who conducted this study, the reason I choose only 3 cities to survey residents in and the reason two of those three cities are only 30 miles apart is because I specifically set out to frustrate people on reddit.

I have no idea why they didn't pick a city more equidistant to Merced and Redding (such as Sacramento or Yuba City) instead of Red Bluff. Or why they didn't also include a city in So Cal to survey residents. I would have loved to hear where San Diegans think the dividing line between So Cal and Nor Cal is (map probably drenched in blue lol)
Anyways. Interesting results overall. I love that someone out there thinks that Ventura County is Northern California. Or, on the other extreme, nobody in Redding thinks that Yuba County is north enough.
