Lawndale is the suburb in which the events of the Daria TV series take place. The location of Lawndale is endlessly debated, and even the show's creators tended to keep it loose. Glenn Eichler suggested in an interview that it might be a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, and this is a frequently used location for many fanfics whose authors caught the hint. However, evidence in the series and Eichler's further comments allow for other locations as well, possibly into eastern Pennsylvania near Philadelphia.

Debate exists among fans as to other possible locations for the fictional suburb, or at least places that had a curious similarity to it. For example, Richard Lobinske has brought up the Florida Connection. Suggested locations of Lawndale, other than the Baltimore area, include the following, listed with the fan who offered the idea.

Bacner: Essex County, Massachusetts
Kristen Bealer: American Midwest
Lisa Bleujabbe: California
Brother Grimace: Lower midwestern or southwestern United States, especially southern or eastern Texas, away from Dallas and Houston
Dervish: In a ficticious American state called Vikizan
Michelle Klein-Haas: Connecticut
Lawndale Stalker: East-central Washington state (e.g., Richland, Washington)
Mike N: Texas coast between Corpus Christi and Houston
Robert Nowall: Similar to town of Poughkeepsie, New York
Ranchoth: The Netherworld or Texas
Ranger Thorne: Texas, though he recalls a map putting it in Connecticut; also wrote a story in which Lawndale was between New York, Metropolis (down around Norfolk), and Gotham City (on the Great Lakes)
TerraEsperZ: Inside a tesseract
Veldrin: Massachusetts
Mike Yamiolkoski: St. Louis, Missouri, or New England
