There several things in mind: "The Men of Bree were more friendly and familiar with Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves, and other inhabitants of the world about them than was (or is) usual with Big People."
 * The inter-faction relationship of Bree:

- The Fellowship of the Ring

"The Bree-folk called them Rangers, [...] but they were now few and rarely seen. When they appeared they brought news from afar, and told strange forgotten tales which were eagerly listened to; but the Bree-folk did not make friends of them."

- The Fellowship of the Ring

So it would be really strange to us, but that is their way of living.

"The village of Bree had some hundred stone houses of the Big Folk."
 * They live in stone houses.

- The Fellowship of the Ring

"The Bree-folk, Big and Little, did not themselves travel much; and the affairs of the four villages were their chief concern."
 * They don't have soilders and militia, and they won't invade other lands. They are secretly protect by the Rangers of the North, though they don't really know that.
