Villages are often categorized primarily by their population size and location: they are smaller than a town but larger than a hamlet, and are usually found in rural areas. They can be classified based on the permanence of their habitation into the categories of migratory, semipermanent, and permanent. Based on their structure, villages can be classified as nucleated, linear, dispersed, and mixed.
