Question
Are seasonal population figures included in total population counts?
Answer
It is very important to note that the CAPE ‘Seasonal Population’ only refers to the proportion of the population that is temporarily living in housing units that are defined as ‘For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use’. The CAPE ‘Seasonal Population’ therefore needs to be combined with the permanent ‘Residual Population’ to estimate the overall level of the population in each area by quarter.
