I have no idea of the "letter" of this definition. However, based on the usual EMC objectives, the intent would be any place where people live and watch TV or listen to the radio. EMI requirements have always been tougher for "residential" areas (Class B) as TV and radio are more susceptible to EMI problems than typical business or industrial (Class A) settings.
Where there are one or two homes in the middle of an industrial district, I do not know how the EMC "courts" would rule.
