Occupants

/ˈɑːkjəpənts/ noun

Definition

People who live in or are currently present in a particular place, like a building or vehicle.

Etymology

From Latin 'occupare' meaning 'to seize or take up,' combined with the suffix '-ant' (one who). The word evolved to mean simply 'those who occupy' a space.

Kelly Says

Census takers use 'occupants' to count people, but in emergencies like building fires, knowing exactly how many occupants are in a building can mean the difference between life and death—it's why fire safety codes require head counts.
