Right now, 10 miles from the house I grew up in. Up until last year, I was next door. I built a house on part of my parents land and lived there for 26 years until a few months ago.
Small town Alabama, born, raised and stayed.

I once heard on the radio that 75% (or higher?) die within 50 miles from where they were born. That will be me I haven't heard that - very interesting!

I live about 20 km away from the hospital I was born in and 23 km away from the house I grew up in. For about 3 years I lived 300 km away but I love the city I grew up in and came back home.

50 km to the hospital where I was born. 30 km in a different direction from where I grew up. My kids are 70 km from the hospital they were born in. Which isn't far when you live rural, just the next major center away.

5,000 miles, Seattle to Seoul.
Will get farther once I can find a place in this COVID world to get to. Or maybe closer, looking at Mexico.
But it will never be “close”.

About 20 miles, every few years I find myself in that area but it’s a small rural village and I live in another small rural village so people usually don’t just drive through them. They’re the sort of areas you need a reason to go to.

I was born in Bremerhaven, Germany when my dad was in the Air Force and I now live in Central Texas. According to Google, it’s 5,113 miles.
Edited to add that we came back to Texas when I was 2 and I live less than 10 miles from the house I grew up in. My mom still lives there.

I might just win this one. 10,550 miles from Johannesburg South Africa to San Francisco, 8700 to Chicago . SF is almost halfway around the world. The earth’s circumference is +- 24000 miles IIRC.

I was in the lead until you came along! I haven't travelled outside of Australia since getting here, I always tell my parents that dragging me half way around the world when I was 4yo put me off travel forever.
