I heard 72% of all adults live within 20 miles from where they grew up. How far do you live from home? :D

Unsure which previous place to call where I grew up but 26 and 40 miles. Do you count living in a van by the river? (SNL made me say that)

All three houses I have lived in are within 10 miles, the one I'm in now I have been in for about 6 years or so. I previously lived here from the age of a few days to 5. :D It's a double block that was my Grandmothers, nobody has lived on either side since the late 40's that wasn't related. The side I'm on hasn't been occupied since the late 90's.
