remote community
Far-flung village
A remote community is a settlement geographically isolated from larger population centers, often with limited access to infrastructure, services, or transportation.
The term appears frequently in discussions of indigenous populations, rural healthcare, and resource extraction: Supplies are flown into remote communities in the Arctic.
Remoteness is relative—a village may be remote from cities while central to its own region.
