The functional population is the resident population plus the seasonal <br />population. This population projection is utilized as needed within the comprehensive plan. In some <br />instances, the county utilizes the permanent population rather than the functional population. For <br />example, some level of service standards are based on permanent population, while other level of <br />service standards are based on both resident and seasonal population. <br />The seasonal population is comprised of those persons who visit the county or reside in the county <br />for a period of less than 6 months. This group includes tourists, migrant farm workers and other <br />short-term and long-term visitors. <br />The seasonal population projection used in the comprehensive plan is not intended to provide an <br />enumeration or total count of persons who visit Indian River County throughout any given year, but <br />rather to provide an estimate of the potential peak seasonal population. Consequently, the seasonal <br />population figures presented in this document reflect the maximum one day potential population that <br />is likely to occur during the peak season winter months. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County <br />23 <br />
