There are probably less than 50,000 people living inside the yellow circle and there are no cities.
Amazon's data centers are in northern Virginia. This earthquake did not happen in northern Virginia, it happened in central Virginia, between Richmond and Charlottesville, about 60-90 miles away from northern Virginia.
I know, but it doesn't sound right if you live in Virginia. Just like saying "Los Angeles is near San Francisco" probably only sounds right to east coasters. And if you look at the shake map, it makes a big difference whether you are within 20 miles of the epicenter or 100 miles.
Very little is near the epicenter. The epicenter was in one of the least populated areas of the entire state. Here's a map:
