data = RandomReal[{0, 2}, {100, 2}];

data2 = Select[data, Abs[#[[1]] - #[[2]]] < 1 &];

data3 = Select[data, Abs[Subtract @@ #] < 1 &];

data2 == data3

True

Length[data2]

71

=============
I have a list, and each element of the
list is a sublist with two integers. How do I delete from the larger
list any integer pair whose numerical distance apart is greater than
one? I'd been trying to map Abs[Subtract[#1,#2]]&<1 over the list, but
so far that hasn't worked.

Any suggestions?
