Where you live

"Where you live shouldn’t determine whether or not you have access to a Covid-19 vaccine, health supplies, or a diagnostic test."

(Bill Gates.)

Is Where you live, the subject in the sentence above, a noun phrase?

My understanding is that Where is both the fused head of the NP and the relative element in the relative clause.

In other words, the cited sentence could be paraphrased like this: The place where you live shouldn’t determine whether or not you have access to a Covid-19 vaccine, health supplies, or a diagnostic test.
