× The area we live is another classification of
communities. Schoolars see the value of looking
into the different gographic location of where
human settlements are to categorize
communities by virtue of population, space and
accesibility.
8
× An urban community
is one that’s in a city
or town: lots of people
live there, and there
are lots of different
kinds of buildings
close together.
9
Demography
Urban communities
are settlements that
are highly congested
because of the dense
population that can
reach millions within a
limited space.
10
Economy
Urban areas are home
to a lot of businesses,
including corporate
offices for large
organizations with
locations throughout
the country or world.
11
Geography
Some people are
living in high-rise
buildings because of
the limited available
space in area.

career could be far easier if you move to
a town or city.
13
× A suburban is a place
where people live just
outside of a city or
town.
14
Demography
These settlements
are located in the
outskirts of urban
areas and are less
dense than urban
areas or are
composed of
medium-sized
population.
15
Economy
Suburban areas are
mostly filled with
houses, subdivisions,
and private estates
rather than factories
and shops.
16
Geography
Access to schools and
markets are farther
than in urban
areas.The buildings
are low-to mid-rise
and people live in
houses with large
living spaces and
usually with yards.
17
× A rural community is
one with lots of nature
and open spaces with
fewer peole and
buildings than urban
or suburban areas.
18
Demography
The houses are far
from each other and
the density of people
living here is the least
from the three.
19
Economy
Livelihoods are mostly
from farming and
livestock.
20
Geography
Rural communities are
located in the
countryside.
Because there are less
people, access to
market and schools
are far and requires a
long drive or different
forms of
transportations.

businesses, and other enterprises that are legal
based on their compliance to government
requirements such as licenses. Because they have
successfully attained all requirements, they,
alongside their workers and customers, are
continually being supervised and protected by the
government and its policies. In exchange, they follow
the regulations and also are taxed by the state.
