I'm not saying 7.5M isn't a market that might be worth chasing, but at the same time, I would hardly call 2% of the population "extremely high".



Nearly 10% of the local ISPs' subscribers are motor home snowbirds. They don't show up in NAHB statistics. Homeowner snowbirds increase that number. Starlink is definitely a matter of attention for local ISPs.


I’m guessing most of those summer cabins host at least two people. So maybe 5%.


The numbers are 14 years older, but this report offers a more specific breakdown of the type of second home. Only ~40% of second homes are seasonal.
