Do people where you live say hello in the street?

Normal for small town and down south

It happens. There's only about 5,000 people in my town, so ya.

I sometimes do it if I'm in a good mood and people respond well but its rare here someone does it to me

In parts, I live in a town with a population of 35,000
Around town no one does but there's an area a few mins from my road with a few fields and a massive hill formation and along side it a path alongside a rail guided bus system going to the next town, if you're either on the path or the grassy area I often get people saying hello, or morning,

Back when I used to have a dog dog walkers would always say hi, seems in unwritten rule in England that if you and the person walking past have a dog you have to say hi

The weird thing is that where I'm from people say hello to passers by, but most people find it weird if someone starts a conversation at a bus stop etc. I lived in Liverpool, England for a few years, which is a lot bigger than derry but no one says hello in the street but it's perfectly normal for people to have conversations with people on the bus or whatever.

I think it's just a small town thing

Eye contact is threatening behavior. Nobody here looks at anyone.

It's more common in small towns.

if they aint crossin the street to avoid me theys askin for money

Depends on the neighbourhood.

No, but they smile and sometimes nod.

Seems like 50/50

I live in derry, population ~100,000 it is quite big but still like a small town in some ways

The only island down here where people do not say good morning, good afternoon or good evening when you encounter them is St Thomas. Guess which country St Thomas is a territory of?

Here in the south it's customary and respectful to acknowledge the person you are passing. I actually really enjoy it. I love the friendliness you get in a small town.

That's one of the things I love about the small town where I live

I live in Floripa, Brazil and usually people don't say hello unless they know you, but some people just smile. In my neighborhood people usually say hi 'cause they live there for a longer time so they know each other.

Not generally

It's like this is my town. I live in a small town deep in southern Illinois and everybody knows each other. Maybe your right.

old people and crazy people
