Poll for Americans. Do you live within 50 miles of your hometown?

[miri]

Was reading that 50% of Americans live within 50 miles of their hometown. Wanted to see if this is true.

 

[loup garou]

Nope, hometown is New Orleans, live in NYC.

 

[DnetMHZ]

Yes, and always have.

 

[Deeko]

52 miles...close enough

 

[TheAudit]

About 100 miles.

define hometown... where we were born or where we mostly "grew up" ? I lived at one place from birth-->4th grade but most of my life (that I remember) has been since 4th grade till I moved again 2 years ago.

 

[trilks]

Nope, more like 150 miles or so.

I don't even live 1800 miles within my home town.

/waits for someone that moved from east to west coast, or overseas to chime in.

I was born overseas but it is still hard to believe that many Americans live so close to home. I have lived up and down the east coast as well as the west coast and Texas.

 

[Redviffer]

Yes but didn't for about 10 years, moved back after the military, and am looking to move again in the far future.

I have 4 sisters and a brother. Me and one sister live here in AZ. The rest live within 50 miles of their birthplace, and my mother and father in Minnesota. We were the two youngest, and the first two to go to college.

[MazerRackham]

I was born in Taiwan, moved to Pasadena, CA when I was 0.5 years old, lived in Irvine for 12 years ( >50 miles away), and now I live in Inglewood, which is within 50 miles.

So yes, I do.
