Where did you live? = event, you don't live there anymore.
Where were you living when/while/during/etc (an event)?
"Where were you living while you were studying physics?"
"Where were you living while you lived in London?" (a little awkward, but where in the city? and they don't live there anymore)
"Where were you living when the earthquake happened?"
