It's a bit of a grey area, it really depends on which youkai you run into and how they feel at the time. If you make it to the Hakurei shrine, you can get returned back to the Outside world or join the human village. Though it's still vague if you count as an Outsider or a Villager if you do decide to stay.

I believe that's why Reimu is so protective of Sumireko, since she's an Outsider and not protected by the same rules the natives are. Though she's far stronger than the average Outsider and can play danmaku so it's possible the youkai prefer to play with rather than eat her.
Sanae's probably loop-holed by being a living god if she didn't already count as a native when she "moved in"
