occupancy

Room being filled

Occupancy is the state of being occupied—having someone or something in residence or use.

A building's occupancy refers to how many people are in it or how full it is: The hotel was at 80% occupancy.

Fire codes specify maximum occupancy for safety.

Occupancy can also mean the period during which a place is occupied: Their occupancy of the apartment lasted three years.
