Do you live in a place or at a place?

“In” for Location. Deciding which word you should be using comes down to a question of where. “At” is used when you are at the top, bottom or end of something; at a specific address; at a general location; and at a point. “In” is used in a space, small vehicle, water, neighborhood, city and country.

Do you live in or on a street?

In US English, we say, “I live on this street.” If a person is homeless, we say “He lives on the street” or “He lives on the streets”. Note the subtle difference in wording: “He lives on THE street” means he’s homeless. “He lives on THIS street” or “He lives on Maple Street” tells us his address.
