Depends on the demo/location of the party
If I'm in a local party close to home I say my city
If I am out of state I say my state
If I'm talking to someone and they are non US I may reply I'm of Portuguese decent.

Maybe it's just me, if I'm outside the region it's often "Tennessee valley"
But that might just be because it's more well received than "Alabama"
Although at times, and my wife's common answer "Huntsville" isn't accurate - but if you answer "Madison" nobody knows where that is, they assume you're from Wisconsin (or one of the other 30 Madison's)

Connecticut. No big cities to speak of.
"Connecticut," I'll say. If that confuses, or I'm nervous or in the mood of narrowing or explanation, I'll follow it with "Back East. Hartford, CT/Springfield, MA."

I didn't bother to tell people the county I lived in was one of the wealthier in the nation at the time.

Now that I think about, same. I either say “The City” if Im in the tri-state or NY outside of that.

I live in another State so I usually just say I'm originally from Michigan. Most don't know any other city than Detroit so they assume that is where I grew up. It isn't. When I lived in Michigan I just said the city of course.
Although when I lived in Chicago I just said the city, when traveling or visiting family in Michigan, not the State of Illinois. Hmm..

Surprised "County" is still being shut out ... must not be a lot of people from just north of NYC on here

Similar to this - if in my county, I'll say the city. If somewhere else in Northern California, I'll say Marin (county). Outside of NoCal, I'll say "Bay Area". If not on the West Coast, I'll add "San Francisco" to that.

Not usually. Sometimes they’ll ask if they know about it and think it’s funny.

I'll ask if they want to know where I live or where I grew up?

Seems that's used every so often in the South, mostly in the sticks.
You grew up?

Typically I say Oregon. If it's a local deal, I'd say Portland.Random stranger talks to you at a party (well, not now but when we get back to that kind of thing) asks you where you're from. What do you reply?
