Well yes. But no.

Each IP address is tied to a specific location – like a real life address.

If someone got ahold of your real life address, they could figure out where you live.

An IP is no different.

If a malicious person got ahold of your IP, they could narrow down the search radius from *the whole fucking universe* to a specific neighbourhood or city. But not your actual, specific location.
