Abstract from DBPedia
    A residential area is a land used in which housing predominates, as opposed to industrial and commercial areas. Housing may vary significantly between, and through, residential areas. These include single-family housing, multi-family residential, or mobile homes. Zoning for residential use may permit some services or work opportunities or may totally exclude business and industry. It may permit high density land use or only permit low density uses. Residential zoning usually includes a smaller FAR (floor area ratio) than business, commercial or industrial/manufacturing zoning. The area may be large or small.

    住宅地(じゅうたくち)は、土地、宅地の利用区分の一形態で、住宅の用途に供せられる土地のことをいうことが一般的である。住宅地が集まった地域を「住宅地域」または「住宅街」という。
