ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Neolocal residence

Neolocal residence is when you live in a new place that is different from where your parents or relatives live. Imagine you have a house with your family, but then you grow up and get married. Instead of living with your parents or your husband's parents, you might choose to move to a new place and start your own house or apartment. This is called neolocal residence.

It's like starting a new adventure in a new place with your new family. Just like when you play a new game with new friends, you get to create new memories and build a new life. Neolocal residence is a way to be independent and create your own space while still being connected to your loved ones.
