How do I change my home address in the maps app in IOS9?

This address comes from your contact information that you identified as "My Info" a.k.a "Me" (settings> email, contacts & calendars> My Info).

You can do this one of two ways easily:

1. To make your address fictitious; you would have to change the "home" address in your contact to any bogus address you want; (optional: then add your true address under a different label (work, other or add a custom label).

2. Create a bogus contact... and identify this as "My Info" in settings...

If you are that concerned you may want to go under Privacy | Location Services | System Services | Frequent Locations and turn it off. It keeps track of all the places you have been.

I never input my actual home address and I am disturbed that the new IOS 9 has made it so blatantly obvious where I live. I would like to at least change the address to a nearby gas station or something to preserve a little bit of security, but cannot figure out how to do so.

To maintain your security, put a passcode on your phone.

even if you have a passcode on your phone all you have to do is hold down the home button and tell Siri take me home and maps will route you to your home address without having to bypass any security. Now if you left your phone in your car and some opportunist thieves decide to pick pocket you for your keys and saw you pull up and what car was yours they then have your car most likley your home keys and with the help of Siri the route to your home! Slightly disturbing. It's a long shot that it might happen to

you but it would be good to have an option to switch of that "take me home" feature.

In your scenario, they could just read the address on your driver's license in your wallet, or your cars registration certificate. No need for an iPhone or Siri at all. In that scenario, your iphone would hardly be the weakest link in protecting your home location. And you can disable use of Siri from the lock screen if you wish to.
