I don't see tons of traffic for localized results. One of the best ways I can figure to determine relative amounts of local traffic is to look through any of the prhases in overture or another keyword tool where the long tail phrases tend to be geographic; ie. Nursing schools, Denver nursing school, Detroit nursing schools, nursing school in Chicago, etc. Say topical traffic for the subject is 1-8% of the main phrase for your region.

The only way I pick up lots of traffic is to be well optimized or have ppc for a huge variety of phrases that work for the combination of business term and geo region(s)
