To find percentage change, we can use the following formula:
Percentage Change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) x 100

Plugging in the given values, we get:
((90.2 - 82.0) / 82.0) x 100 = 10.00

Therefore, the percentage change in occupancy this year as compared to last year is 10%, which corresponds to choice C.
