10 yrs is the cut off for you being just a "Yankee" and the next level "Damn Yankee" That was how it was explained to me 40+ years ago.

I think it's changed. Everyone I know in the city is from somewhere else at this point, even if it's somewhere else in Virginia. I only know a few people who grew up here, and I think only 1 who grew up in the city

I grew up here. I went on a date with a girl who moved here for med school from somewhere else, I don't remember where. She was surprised that I'm from the city and said it's really rare. Made me realize that my only friends from Richmond are the ones I went to grade school with.
