Do hiring managers prefer local candidates?
I don't want to narrow my (tech) job search to my area, since I can both work remotely and consider relocating. I understand why a company might prefer local candidates, though. Are there any tips to getting responses from hiring managers in other areas? They will know where I am located by my contact information and recent employers on my resume.

I've never seen location to be a problem. They usually ask whether you would be willing to travel.

Before 2003 you might have had a better chance with your address. but now when we are hiring we just look for the best candidate at the lowest salary. getting the most for your money is the most important thing that we are looking for.
