This answer might bore you a bit, because I bet you thought they occur strongest where people live. Deep in the Pacific Ocean, aswell as in the middle of the Atlantic are massive mountain chains caused by tectonic activity. These can be seen by looking at a map of our sea floors. They are the longest mountain chains in the world. and are home to the most brutal of all earthquakes. But to answer the question in terms of where people live, the most earthquakes occur near Indonesia, the west coast of South america, primarily Chile and Peru, and also the west coast of North America.
