Explanation

The passage describes the contrast between rural hospitality and 'city dwellers'. 'Residents' is the most natural and commonly used term for people living in a city. 'Dwellers' and 'inhabitants' are more formal/technical terms. 'Stayers' is not a standard English word for city residents. 'Employers' doesn't fit the context of people living in cities.
