Obrigado, Marcelo! O conceito de "população flutuante", em português, é exatamente o que corresponde a "floating population": a população que vai e vem, como turistas, trabalhadores, etc.

Cybeles - as I briefly researched, a fluctuating population means the total number of people fluctuates, whereas a floating population means that people move about, are transient. These are two different things.
Adj. 1. floating - continually changing especially as from one abode or occupation to another; "a drifting double-dealer"; "the floating population"; "vagrant hippies of the sixties"
drifting, vagrant, aimless, vagabond
unsettled - not settled or established; "an unsettled lifestyle"
So without more context, it's just plain carelessness to suggest that more Ghits mean floating is correct for your query.
If this city has a total of 800K ppl, and this total fluctuates, then it's fluctuating.
If the city has many more ppl, and of this total, 800K are transient, then it's floating.
