The most important economic activity in a Medieval town was trade.
-----
The thing that made a town different from a village was that the town had a permanently established market place, where a number of merchants and craftspeople could sell their wares.

∙ 12y agoThe main difference between a medieval town and a medieval village was the focus of the economy. Trade and the practice of crafts were the focus of a medieval town. Towns typically had one or more permanent markets, usually with regular market days. Villages, on the other hand, focused on agriculture and had only a few craftsmen, such as a blacksmith and a carpenter. Towns were net importers of foodstuffs, an villages were net exporters of foodstuffs and other agricultural products.
Population size is not necessarily a good benchmark to differentiate town from village. Although a few towns grew to considerable size and became outright cities, the typical town in the middle ages was quite small. The smallest towns were smaller than the largest of the villages.

It depends on which theory of how the affliction was caused you're working with. Social and economic differences are most prominent in the Village-Town feud theory. Most accusers came from the poorer farming Village. Most accused came from the richer, shipping-based Town. And tensions and jealousy between them caused the girls to lie about Town-people for revenge of a sort.
