What is considered having good ties to a city/region?

This question mainly stems from lack of proper information and not trusting TLS; plus I think this is a subject many people aren't sure on. What is considered having good ties to a city/region?

Is having lived in a city since early teens to graduating high school and doing 2 years of UG enough? I moved away to finish my UG but am thinking about coming back, but it has been almost 4 years.

Do I need a family connection? A decent amount of friends/people I know there?

What do y'all think? I feel this community is much more level headed and understands not everyone wants big law, so I'd appreciate your thoughts.
