residents

Those who live there

Residents are people who live in a particular place.

A city has residents, as does an apartment building or nursing home.

The term often distinguishes permanent inhabitants from visitors or workers: Parking is reserved for residents.

In medicine, a resident is a doctor in advanced training at a hospital, having completed medical school but not yet fully licensed to practice independently.
