transient population
People passing through
A transient population consists of people who stay temporarily in a place rather than settling permanently.
This includes migrant workers, tourists, students, seasonal residents, and homeless individuals moving between shelters or encampments.
Cities with major universities, resort towns, and agricultural regions often have significant transient populations that fluctuate predictably with seasons or academic calendars.
The transient population swells every summer when farm workers arrive for harvest.
