If you mean damage to the surrounding are then it all depends on how built up the area is. Most damage is caused by structural collapse so more built up areas will see a higher amount of damage than a less built up, more rural area.
If you mean damage to the earths crust itself then you need to look at what type of earthquake it was and the location of the epicentre (the point of origin)
