The brown rat is native to northern China & Mongolia and has spread to all continents (except Antarctica) in the Middle Ages.

It is the dominant rat in Europe and much of North America, making it the most successful mammal on the planet alongside humans.

With rare exceptions, the brown rat lives wherever humans live, particularly in urban areas.
