Half dozen times - but feel like I live in hotels almost half the time …
When does adulthood start?
When I was almost 19 I moved into the dorm and then spent college moving around. I count at least 6 times in college, not counting the last move out. True moves where the majority of my stuff was moving. Once out, over the last 19.5 years, I've moved 3 times and about to move a fourth.
When I bought my house I moved ten miles and 3 zip codes. Rather impressive for an area with 1,800 residents. Edit: meant to say, same town, I simply moved from the north to the south.
I'm 42 so I guess in 24 years I've moved almost 10 times, but this last stay was 14.5 years.
I've helped my parents move twice; does that count for anything?

About 10 times in the last 25 years or so.
8 in 11 years in the military; 2 in 36 years after that.
After graduation, I've owned 2 houses in FL, and rented a condo and now a part time rental up North So I guess not too much
Left home late at 25 and lived in the same place since and I am 57.
Only one house since leaving home 5 miles away. By coincidence, I'm less than 2 miles from where my ancestor settled around 1630.

How about you guys?
3 times.
The first two were locations inside Detroit that eventually turned into desolate ghetto. The 2nd location was a home purchase and I cried like a little kid at the age of 33, when I closed that front door for the last time, to bolt into no crime - no renters suburbia. The home I left in Detroit was gorgeous and very well laid-out. Stained glass - oak wood - fireplace - dining room - walk-in pantry - double lot - brick colonial style.
The low-lifes burned it down about 10 years later. Burning down a brick home is not that easy. They managed to do it in under a half-hour. It stood for over 60 years.

Too much.
Grew up in one.
7 places in college.
15 places in between.
2 places with current spouse.
Should be in this house another 4 years or so.

Not counting college I have lived in seven different homes over 30 years. The first four were rentals. We've been in our current home for 14 years and the only way I plan to ever move again is if we strike oil and move to Beverly.
Twice! One time too many.
Zero, still living on Great Great Grandpas land.
