vivre vs. habiter

Question

One of the examples in this lesson reads, "Tu vis en dehors de la ville." I was wondering about the distinction (if there is any, subtle though it may be) between saying that and saying, "Tu habites en dehors de la ville."

The link above is an example where I did such a search on your behalf.
I mention this technique to allow you to potentially get the information you require without the delay involved in waiting for a Forum reply to a new query.
