A "transient population" refers to a group of people who temporarily reside in a specific area rather than living there permanently. This can include tourists, seasonal workers, or students who move to a location for a limited time. Their presence can significantly impact local economies, services, and community dynamics. Transient populations often contribute to the local culture and economy by spending money on hotels, restaurants, and entertainment. However, they may also create challenges for local governments in terms of providing adequate services and infrastructure to accommodate fluctuating numbers of residents.
