Do family members have to live in the same house or can they be in different cities?

This is the location restriction posted by Apple:


https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html

"All Family members must share the same Home Country."


Share purchases with others in your Family Sharing group

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/share-purchases-with-your-family-mchlc2b37692/mac

"To share purchases, family members must be in the same iTunes Store country or region."


No mention of having to be in the same house or city, only of all users having to have their accounts set to the same country.
