wizarding settlement in GB. If that is the case why do we never hear of any
Hogwarts pupils who live in Hogsmeade? They could even be day pupils though
I don't think that would fit with the Hogwarts world, but you'd think they'd
at least go home for w/e's."

Hermione says in PoA (Chapter5): "Hogsmeade is the only entirely non-Muggle
settlement in Britain."

This does not indicate it to be at all large. I think it is there to serve
the school (or at least the staff and students who want to get out
occasionally).
