Annual population data by county were compiled for 1999–2009
from the US Census Bureau (BoC, 2013). Monthly data on the number
of hotel and motel rooms rented by county were compiled for
1999–2009 (STR, 2013), and we assumed that these data were a
proxy for tourist fluxes, including snowbirds. Note that the total numbers
of tourists would be underestimated with the hotel and motel
room rental data, because condominium rentals and time-shares have
become a significant component of the Florida coastal housing market.
We assumed that monthly variations in condominium use matched
monthly variations in hotel and motel room rentals, and we used the
latter as a proxy for the monthly variability (but not actual numbers)
of each county's tourist visits
