Every figure above describes the resident population of Marmion 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 draft guest-purpose brief identifies regional touring and stopovers, family or community visits and practical multi-night stays. These are planning hypotheses to test against enquiries, not claims about market volume.
