An exurban resident is someone who lives in a rural area outside of a city or town. They are often referred to as 'villagers' due to their close proximity to the countryside. Exurban residents typically have a strong connection to the land and may be involved in farming, ranching, or other agricultural activities. They may also be employed in industries related to the natural environment, such as forestry or conservation. Exurban residents often enjoy a slower pace of life and a greater sense of community than those living in urban areas.
