lives in

Occupies a dwelling

Lives in indicates where someone resides or makes their home: She lives in Portland, They live in a small apartment.

The phrase can extend to habitats: The species lives in tropical forests.

Figuratively, it describes where something persists: That song lives in my head, Fear lives in the back of his mind.
