In spite of the importance that measurements of temporary ( de facto ) populations have for public sector planning of services and infrastructures and for private firms' location purposes, no well‐established framework exists in the literature showing how to systematically perform such estimates. As a first step to overcoming the conceptual and practical difficulties surrounding the estimation of de facto population, this paper relies on forecasting symptomatic variables to integrate existing direct and indirect methods into a unified theoretical framework for estimating overnight residents.
