Which atom does the positive charge reside


The formal charge for the H atoms is 0 for the hydronium atom, H3O+. The formal charge is +1 for the O atom. However, O is the most electronegative atom in hydronium. Therefore, on which atom does the positive charge reside for this molecule if the formal charges and electron negativities conflict?
