Morphology
occupancy = occupy (transparent) = occup + ancy
The sense 'number of people present' is a straightforward metonymic extension from the state of occupying a space, predictable from the base 'occupy'.
Etymology
Occupancy comes from the Latin verb occupare, built from ob- 'against' and capere 'to take', and it shares the same root as occupy and capture. So occupancy can also mean how many people 'take up' or use a space at one time — the number of people present.
