I am wondering if my sentence is grammatically correct.

Bob always felt out of place, even in his hometown.

Hometown is an adjective, at least in AmE. Write "home town".

It's a noun in BrE. If you go to onelook.com and search for "hometown", there are 21 results. I checked the top five results and all give it as one word, a noun, meaning the town where one was born and/or grew up.
