In the broader scale, beyond just the Hobbits, none of the Fellowship is, at the end, in the same place as they were at the beginning of LOTR.

The Hobbits all die away from the Shire; Aragorn dies in Minas Tirith, though his 'home' was in Eriador; Gimli goes south from the Lonely Mountain and becomes Lord of the Glittering Caves; Legolas takes Elves from Mirkwood and goes to Ithilien.

Granted, with Gimli and Legolas, we don't know that they stayed in those new places, but Legolas did build his ship in Ithilien, with Gimli sailing away with him, as the tradition went.

Of them all, only Gandalf really went 'home'. That's especially noteworthy, since he was the only one of the Fellowship who could be said to have been homeless all during his time in Middle-earth.
