ギョルギ九十三
Level: 756
囲む (かこむ):
Describes things being around something / surrounding it.
The verb itself does not imply purpose.

囲う (かこう):
Implies enclosing something to keep, protect, or control what is inside.
Usually suggests a boundary or contained space.

You can think of them like this:
囲む = surround (very common)
囲う = enclose / keep / maintain control (more specific)

There are situations where both can work:
庭を塀で囲む
庭を塀で囲う

Native speakers use 囲む much more often, though. 囲う tends to feel more deliberate or purposeful.

Examples where they aren't interchangeable:
犯人を囲む (natural)
犯人を囲う (unnatural) ❌
愛人を囲う (natural) – that's the "to keep (e.g. a mistress)" sense of 囲う.
愛人を囲む (unnatural) ❌

市民 vs 住民

市民 is made up of 市 (city) and 民 (people / たみ). The nuance is more focused on "people who live in a city" (citizens).

住民 is made up of 住 (to live/reside) and, once again, 民. The nuance being more focused on residing/living somewhere (residents).

So a 住民 in a certain city can (often) also be called 市民.

TLDR:
住民 = where you live
市民 = which city you belong to (civically)
