Depends on how you look at it. His father lived there. Tm by all accounts has two homes just like other children whose parents aren't together.
How long had Trayvon been living there. How long had Trayvon's father lived there?
BTW, living in two homes is not the problem. The issue is that is was a dark rainy night in a complex with multiple buildings that look identical while Trayvon had to watch out for someone who is stalking him.
I was actually in a similar situation. One night while out walking my dog in my apartment complex I saw an African-American man crouched behind some bushes under the windows of a ground-floor unit, looking in, and creeping about. He saw me looking at him, and he promptly got up, and started walking, not running, away. Not only did I not chase him, or confront him, I ran to a person who was by his car, and told him to call the police on his cell phone. By the time the guy understood what I was talking about the intruder was no longer in sight, so he didn't even call them.
How do you know he was African-American? Could he have possibly been from another country?
Zimmerman refused to go to the hospital that night but went the next day. Would that be because Zimmerman wanted to clear the drugs from his system first? What are the laws in Florida regarding using a firearm while under the influence?

This is something I've always wondered about.
I don't have a clue as to why the Sanford P.D. didn't test him for drugs and/or alcohol - especially since it's obvious they were doubting his story from the beginning.
I think it's entirely possible Zimmerman didn't want to put himself under the scrutiny of medical personnel that night.

No, he didn't go to the hospital the next day. He did go by his doctor's office the next day to get a medical excuse for work absence but didn't even see the doctor.
His injuries were so minor that he never did go to the doctor during that time-frame.
And what is it about a teenage boy's life, who was simply walking home from a convenience store, that has less meaning? By your standards?
You conveniently leave out the numerous negatives associated with his life.....why is that?
