inhabitants
People living there
Inhabitants are the people or animals who live in a particular place.
A town's inhabitants are its residents; a forest's inhabitants are the creatures dwelling there.
The word emphasizes ongoing presence rather than temporary visits: The island's inhabitants have lived there for generations.
Inhabit works for any place that can be occupied—buildings, regions, ecosystems, or even abstract domains: the inhabitants of the digital world.
