Dropping the ¿ is the most visible thing English speakers get wrong in written Spanish.
There is also no auxiliary anywhere in it. Spanish has nothing answering to do, so the sentence is literally where you-live, and the verb ending alone says who is being asked. Vives is tú, which to a stranger or on a form is too familiar — there it should be ¿dónde vive? with usted. Argentina and much of Central America use vos and say ¿dónde vivís?
vivir to live
The infinitive. It covers both being alive and having an address, exactly as English live does.
vivo I live
The first person, and the form the answer comes back in: vivo en Madrid.
dirección address
What the question is fishing for on a form. ¿Cuál es tu dirección? is the flatter, more bureaucratic version.
casa house, home
The building. ¿Dónde vives? asks about the place, not about the property.
