year-rounders

Never leave town

Year-rounders are people who live in a place permanently rather than seasonally.

The term appears mainly in resort or vacation communities where populations swell in summer or winter: The year-rounders resent how tourists clog the roads.

It distinguishes permanent residents from seasonal visitors, second-home owners, or summer people.
