Where We Live Now: Scattered to 35 States


We've managed to locate 328 classmates's current residences. While there are times that it seems everyone has moved to Arizona, it's not true — yet.

While Arizona is clearly the preferred retirement location over Florida, the Desert State actually came in third.

South Dakota — it should surprise no one — is where most of us still live. You can leave home, but you don't always move all that far away. It is home to 138 classmates. That's 42 percent of us who still live in the The Sunshine State.

Minnesota, which was like Manhattan for us when we were in high school, is the current choice of 36 of the 328 classmates we could find. Arizona is home to 23 of us, followed by Colorado with 15, Texas with 14, California with 13 and Nebraska with 13.

The rest of the states with at least one former classmate are as follows:
Alaska 1, Arkansas 1, Connecticut 1, Florida 4, Georgia 3, Iowa 3, Idaho 2, Illinois 2, Indiana 2, Louisiana 2, Massachusetts 1, Maryland 2, Michigan 3, Montana 3, North Carolina 2, North Dakota 5, Nevada 1, New York 2, Ohio 1, Oregon 3, Pennsylvania 2, Tennessee 2, Utah 2, Virginia 3, Washington 7, Wisconsin 5 and Wyoming 2.

When we find more classmates, we will update these figures.
