It is grammatical, as far as syntax goes. I am a bit cagey about the semantics.

The sentence is grammatical and means: Because you have lived in six different states, you might call us nomads. The intended meaning is: Because we have lived in six different states, you might call us nomads.

To make it grammatical, if you include meaning in grammar, which I do, you can add a subject to your dangler: "We having lived in six different states, you might call us nomads." But nobody talks like that.
