It's whatever location that is listed which could be a town. Here is one from 1871 from my database:
Maria SMART 90% Ince, Lancashire, England (Child Event- Residence: 7 Apr 1861) So it is saying there is a 90% chance that you will find that person in Ince, Lancashire and the program came up with that idea from one of Maria's children who had a residence event on 7 Apr 1861 in Ince. I think that is clear. However, I think the 90% is misleading. I have never found Maria anywhere, her name is from an IGI record so is by no means certain. Her daughter was actually born in Devon so if I was going to guess where she is I would have been looking in Devion but would have attributed a far lower percentage given that her daughter was born around 1810.
