Aristotle classifies dwellers into three categories based on their relationship to the polis (city-state): citizens, who actively participate in governance; non-citizens, who live in the polis but do not have political rights; and slaves, who are considered property and lack autonomy. Citizens are essential for the functioning of the state, while non-citizens and slaves contribute to the economy and society but do not have a role in political life. This classification reflects Aristotle's views on the ideal structure of society and governance.
