Do you live in your home town?

I was just wondering how many of us still live in their home town and how many have moved away.  So I thought I'd put together a little survey.

Where is your hometown?

Did you live in the country/city/suburb?  

If you moved away, when did you move?

Where do you live now?

  • Where is your hometown? State College, PA AKA Penn State

    Did you live in the country/city/suburb? Country though for central PA its pretty non-country :)

    If you moved away, when did you move? I moved away for college (for 4 years), though only 45 minutes away. Then I moved away when I got a job after college (for 5 years) in the Philly suburbs.

    Where do you live now? DH and I recently moved (back for me-not for him) to State College. It's good to be home :)

  • Good survey.  I've often wondered what percentage of people stay in the area and what moves away.

    Where is your hometown? The area is called the Quad Cities.  It's on the IL/IA state border along the Mississippi River.  I'm from the IL side.

    Did you live in the country/city/suburb?   City, it's population stays around 45K or so (but the entire Quad City area with country folk and such is over 300K)

    If you moved away, when did you move? I moved away at 18, when I went to college.  I moved to Milwaukee for school with the idea that it was going to be Chicago-esque.  It certainly is not :O(, although I did like it, it just wasn't what I was planning on. 

    Where do you live now? Chicago.  Moved here "permanently" in 2009 when I graduated school...although I started living here in 2008 for an internship and then DH stayed here in 2008, so I visited a ton (Chicago is 1.5ish hrs from MKE and 3ish hrs from the Quad Cities)

  • Where is your hometown?  Htown, NJ

    Did you live in the country/city/suburb? suburb  

    If you moved away, when did you move? June 09, same city but different county and educational systems.  weird, I know.

    Where do you live now? Still in Htown, but in another county now.  Looking to move back to the other county when it comes time for kids to go to school. 

  • Where is your hometown? - Houston

    Did you live in the country/city/suburb? - Suburbs

    If you moved away, when did you move? - I didn't move away

    Where do you live now? - Outside of Houston, but I guess you would still call it the suburbs - I think of it as the suburbs of the suburbs of Houston.

  • On a similar note, I once heard that people tend to stay in Rhode Island for life (rather than moving elsewhere) more than any other state.

    I have no idea if that's actually true, and I couldn't think of a good way to Google it...

    Did you live in the country/city/suburb? suburb  

    If you moved away, when did you move? I lived in Boston May 2003 - June 2004, moved back home for masters degree, then moved for PhD to Ann Arbor, MI from August 2007 till present.

    Where do you live now? I'm moving back to Clarence soon (if we ever get our close date on our house!)  We wanted to live in the city, but couldn't find a house we liked in our price range so we bought in my hometown, 3 miles from my parents' house.  This proximity will be helpful when we have kids as my parents are retired and my mom loves spending time with grandchildren (she only has one at the moment and really wants more).
