Can I estimate occupancy from public calendars?

The answer
Public calendars show availability, not the reason a date is unavailable. Dates can be blocked for guests, owners, repairs, or scheduling preferences. Treat calendar observations as limited evidence rather than confirmed occupancy.
Repeated observations may reveal patterns, but they still do not expose all operating choices. Whenever possible, combine calendar information with transparent data sources and clearly stated assumptions.
This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
