How many counties/parishes have you lived in?

[jp the roadgeek]

[cpzilliacus]

1. District of Columbia (until I was 1 year old)
2. Montgomery County, Maryland
3. Anne Arundel County, Maryland

I'm surprised this group hasn't moved around more.

I'm not.  Most people tend to stay in the same general geographic area during their lifetime.  I'm an outlier, but that's a combination of my parents' early career field (food/hotel industry) and my own career (20 years in the Navy).

1. District of Columbia (until I was 1 year old)

Does that mean you're actually DC-born?

As for my own list, alphabetical by state:

1) DC
2) Lake, IL
3) Freeborn, MN
4) Hennepin, MN (multiple times/places, including the whole period from the end of 1st grade through high school, and technically to the end of my Navy career)
5) Harrison, MS (twice)
6) Lauderdale, MS
7) Pearl River, MS
8) Morris, NJ
9) Cuyahoga, OH
10) Caledonia, VT
11) Orleans, VT
12) Fairfax, VA
13) Norfolk city, VA (twice)
14) Virginia Beach, VA
15) Waukesha, WI

Yep.

My parents, for example, moved into their house about a year before I was born.  They're still there.  My dad basically had one employer my whole life (he was a school teacher); my mom was a librarian and worked in a few here and there until becoming a school librarian for 15+ years.

When I got married, I moved in with my in-laws for 6 months, then we found a home convenient to work for her, convenient to the highway to get to work for me, and we were still within a short drive of our parents. 

Thus, while between all of us we've lived in quite a number of different towns, they were all within one county.

[bulldog1979]

Based on the addresses on my driver's license, I've only lived in three as an adult:

1) Marquette, MI
2) Grand Traverse, MI
3) Kent, MI

and now I'm back at number 1 again. Compared to my father, I've moved around more. He lived in the same house from shortly after birth until last year at age 68. He did a tour in Vietnam and a couple of years at college, but the only reason his permanent address changed is because they closed the PO Box and got home delivery.

If I were to count locations where I spent significant time (over a month) and did not change the address on my license, I'd add:

1) Mecosta, MI (college)
2) Kalkaska, MI
3) Williams, OH
4) St. Clair, IL

As a kid, I spent a summer with my grandparents in Cheboygan County, Michigan as well.
