As a resident-and-dwelling baseline, the 2021 Census counted 3,675 residents and recorded 1,393 private dwellings, with 80 unoccupied on Census night. The numbers are contextual only: an unoccupied dwelling is not automatically visitor accommodation and should never be presented that way. Census evidence does not measure visitor or booking demand.

Every figure above describes the resident population of Connolly at the 2021 Census. None of it describes visitors, nightly rates, occupancy or short-stay supply, and it must not be presented as if it did. Its use is to set expectations a host can then confirm from the property itself: the real bedroom count and bed layout, how many vehicles the space genuinely takes and whether that space is on-title or on-street, the actual route to the door, and the house rules a street of this kind will expect around noise and turnover.

The evidence-led starting mix is regional touring and stopovers, family or community visits and practical multi-night stays. Treat those journeys as a starting point, then refine them with property-level evidence.
