smaller than a village – larger than a wide spot in the road, a hamlet usually has considerably less than 200 people and is usually tied to agriculture (although many housing subdivisions could loosely be described as hamlets, especially when incorpirated and containing a minimal number of people).
a hamlet can either be dispersed (particularly in the usa), or cl-stered (see urban).
it is often located at the crossing of two minor thouroughfares (at a crossroads). most intentional communities, if not a village and and not tied into the fabric of a larger ent-ty, could be described as hamlets.
