non-residents
Not living here
Non-residents are people who don't live in a particular place—a country, state, city, or institution.
The term appears most often in legal, tax, and administrative contexts where residency determines rights or obligations: Non-residents pay higher tuition at state universities.
A non-resident fishing license costs more than one for locals.
The hyphenated spelling is standard, though *nonresidents* appears in some style guides.
