Inhabit is used in a general descriptive geographical or scientific sense and can apply to animals as much as to people. 'The woods are inhabited by a wide range of species of birds'. 'The inhabitants of this area originally came from areas further south.'
Residents usually refers to people, and is often the word used in official documents and reports. 'Please list all those who reside at this address.' 'Residents have been asked to remain indoors during this operation.'
