Seasonal Projections
October 31, 2023, Version 2023.0
Seasonal populations! Seasonal populations are those residing in what are usually considered “vacant seasonal” units during the months of June through August. The principal assumptions are that these units will be occupied 80% of the time including all weekdays and weekends. In addition, the size of the group in residence during the period is assumed to be 3.3 persons. These factors were obtained from published studies of seasonal populations in Florida and Michigan.
