<em>'hunker down' is a synonym of 'settle in', which means you stay in one place for a long time, for example: </em>John didn't know when his friend would come back, so he hunkered down on the bench and watched people walk by without much interest.

In this context can I translate "hunkering down" with living there for awhile?
These cities are continuously listed as the best places for young people to live. Hunkering down in, or even just visiting, a place where the majority of the neighborhood shares your values, interests, and age, is super empowering.

Hello!
Speaking as someone from the southern United States, I have most often heard the phrase "hunker down" used in the context of staying indoors and in one place during very bad weather. It is a phrase often used casually and not often heard in formal conversation.
"We hunkered down in the living room and waited for the storm to pass."
