Southern Spain. When hiking you see a lot of empty houses, sometimes even entire settlements that used to house ~100 people. My guess is that you can also find some deeper in the mounts, father away from the trails.
Many years ago I’ve met a guy while hiking in Poland. He was heading to some valley where he knew empty house was. He said that during summer he goes to a house like this, plants some vegetables and lives there till winter. During winter he worked to earn enough money to survive next summer. Quite different because of the weather but I mean he was able to just go to an empty house in the mountains and live there for months.
Not OP, but the US has a surprising amount of dead/dying rural communities, even in the south. Mostly oil/coal/lumbermill towns that got shutdown, and especially prevelant in Appalachia. There’s also the possibility of OP being from a developing (or less wealthy) country.
I’d not risk it here in the US, since everyone and their grandma is packing. It’s just so hard to imagine because all our land here is getting developed.
On the original question, I’d get a fake identity I guess. Am in the least-profiled, most trusted demographic right now so probably could manage it. But ouch I would miss my life.
Oh, not the US as a whole. But around where I live. There were discrete cities/towns with land between. Now it’s just all people, there is no in between.
Where do you live that has mild winters and abandoned houses?

There is a lot of development going on, yes, but damn do you have a skewed idea of what ‘all the land’ actually entails. America is fucking huge, and there is a fuckton of empty space on the western half of it. https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/nobody-lives-here-mapping-emptiness-in-the-us-and-beyond/
