occupants
Those dwelling within
Occupants are the people currently in a space—a building, room, or vehicle.
The word emphasizes physical presence rather than ownership or tenancy: The car's occupants escaped before the fire spread.
A house may have occupants who aren't residents, and residents who aren't currently occupying it.
