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 clustered (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 entity, could be described as hamlets.

The documentary film "Rabbit Hash - Center of the Universe" was about an old and remote river hamlet which contains a small art colony on the western end of the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati Ohio metropolitan area (near another hamlet called Big Bone) that elected a dog for mayor, not once, but twice! The First dog was named Goofy.

hamlet is a distinguished fellow, typically a nerd with superiority issues. however, he is hella christian and halal. hes very obsessed with grammar and plays trumpet. according to his coworker, he is wednesday adam's little brother. he can be reserved and glum sometimes, probably because he works at a bar and hates the russians that binge drink there. did i mention he is armo af? he wishes he lived in the 5th century because he's too classy for this current armageddon time period for the world. he hates qyartus but is secretely a qyartu due to his overuse of "💋"
overall, hamlet is a strange intellectual fellow.
