They live in upstate New York, lots of clues lead to this conclusion. 1)Pricipal Skinner mentioned a saying that he learned in "upstate New York". 2)When Springfield was mentioned as a growing city they mention " Watch out Utica", which is a dying city in upstate New York. 3) The mascot of the Springfield baseball team is the same as a Syracuse minor league mascot. When Lisa wrote in a essay contest they pan throughout the country and the essay before Lisa was a kid from Queens, then they pan further upstate then Lisa speaks. They mention that Capital City is 45 min. from Springfield which means they are located somewhere 45 min. form Albany, NY, the capital of New York State.
Well, have just saw a repeat of the episode where Homer, Moe and Barney join the navy, and command a sub (on the chart shown) Homer hits the comapss on the map then heads into Russian waters, after leaving obviously the west coast of the states, where Springfield Harbour was shown to be located. I have always thought they livein either northern California or Washington State, as they have always featured snow capped mountains and ocean in their day to day activities!!!
