Definition
家住 is a compact verb meaning 'to live at (a place)' or 'to reside at'. It is commonly used in written or formal contexts to state one's current residence or hometown, e.g. 家住北京 ('lives in Beijing'). Note that the pinyin for this word is actually jiā zhù, not simply jiā as listed in the source row — this is likely a data error.
