year-rounder

Never leaves town

A year-rounder is someone who lives in a place permanently rather than seasonally—especially in resort towns or vacation destinations where populations swell in peak seasons: The island has only about two hundred year-rounders, but thousands of tourists in summer.

The term distinguishes permanent residents from summer people, snowbirds, or other seasonal visitors.
