Metric citizin here, nobody uses "miles" here. We just go with the metric system:
1000 metres = 1 kilometre
We use the wording from your example "i live 22 kilometres from town"
That's fine and I believe that is true for your country or region. Though remember there are other metric countries. E.g. the nordics still stick to it.

Interesting trivia piece is that in swimming and running the 1500m is sometimes refered to as a "metric mile" because a mile is 1600ish.
