For a nonempty A⊆{0,1}n of relative size at least ε∈(0,1], its Hamming distance function F(x)=d(x,A) has the bounded differences property with all constants one. If μ=EF, the concentration bound at F=0 gives ε≤2e−2μ2/n, so μ≤t/2 for t=2nlog(2/ε)​. Then Pr(F>t)≤2e−2(t−μ)2/n≤ε, proving that the radius-t neighbourhood contains at least (1−ε)2n cube points.
