"Drifters" are those who have lived in the community less than five years and are temporary residents, "settlers" have resided less than five years but consider themselves permanent, "settled" are individuals who have more than five years tenure and are permanent, while "relocaters" have lived in the area more than five years but do not intend to remain there.
