I live 19.4 miles from where I was born.
However, I suspect our master bedroom occupies the same geographic space where the bedroom I was probably conceived in was located.
Approximately 212 miles.
The hospital I was born in no longer exists, so I just picked an major (ha) intersection in the incredibly small town of Safford, AZ.

8,540 standard nautical miles.
San Clemente, California, to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Do I get a prize?
I’d say it’s just a bit less than a kilometre.
1814.89 miles
It is 290.73 miles from Sacred Wallet Hospital in Eugene, OR to my current address in Kirkland, WA.
Mapquest tells me that is a 4 hour and 50 minute drive, though on a good day with no stops for peeing I can make it in 4.
6009 miles. Born in Tehran, living in Ballston Spa, NY.
Roughly 3 miles… 3.1 if my calculations were accurate.
The hospital was demolished in 2002. I’m fond of driving past it’s former site and saying “I was born on that empty block of land”
5787 miles.
Tokyo, Japan to Boulder, CO, USA.
2600-and-some miles – from northern Idaho to Long Island, via a lot of other states/towns/cities over the years.
Mapquest says 24.48 miles, and 35 minutes. Like someone else said, maybe 35 minutes in the middle of the night on a weeknight. God, I love Houston traffic…
587 miles for me.
My mother has an uncle who lives 0 miles from the place he was born. He’s 82 and was born at home and has lived in the same house his entire life.
I am currently 5.78 miles away. For the first 25 years of my life, I was only 4.92 miles away.
At this rate, I’ll have to move to the next county by the time I’m 80.
1958.04 miles.
Born in Redlands, California, living in St Cloud, MN.
2183.85 miles…From somewhere in the Los Alamitos/Cypress/Orange County California Area (at “the hospital near the racetrack”) to about 30 minutes south of Midtown Atlanta.
Awww, sorry Baker but I’m two blocks down and three over from the hospital I was born in, 0.7 miles according to mapquest. Sort of an unfair advantage with them planting the hospital right in the neighborhood, I’ll admit.
1,780.5 miles, soon to be about 1,790 or so.
I now live in Lakewood, California, but was born at Lake County Memorial Hospital, Willoughby, Ohio - 2437.0 miles according to Yahoo Maps.
Now all we need is someone who was born in northwestern Washington but now lives in Willoughby, Ohio, or vice versa, to complete the triangle. That would be about 2500 miles.
I was pronounced dead and wasn’t revived for a little under two minutes when I was four. Counting that as my “birth”:
Manama, Bahrain > Oviedo, FL, USA = 7,482 miles
Using my actual birthplace, because the above is sorta cheating:
Yeovil, England > Oviedo, FL, USA = 4,230 miles
I was pretty convinced I was gonna win this thing, but those dastardly Indian/Iranian transplants got me.
Mapquest says 2390.94 miles (Dundalk Maryland, born in Edmonton, Alberta)
City Distance tool says 1990 miles.
