Maybe this number supports the younger average age number as some people still work when they purchase? If not the average villager is doing a heck of alot better than I will do in retirement!
Median income would probably be a better number. A billionaire like Gary Morse can bring that average income up in a hurry.

TN is a beautiful state and also tax friendly. Curious what this community is called and where it is located. Depending on location we may have an opportunity to check it out while we are in NC this month.

It's called Tellico Village. Only 7,000 residents and wide open space! Located in Louden TN at the base of the Smoky Mountains. We're heading there for a tour next month. It looks wonderful!

They have been advertising on DC and Satellite radio for over a year, no more. Be careful it is not a scheme. Sounded good on ads.

Good thing that there are other nice places when we fill up.

Would that be retirement income? Or average salary prior to retirement?

I have a customer in Loudon, TN, -- Tate & Lyle. Loudon, TN is fairly close
(68 miles) to Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which is a gorgeous national park. If you have time, stop at the national park if you haven't already been there.

Just moved here I'm 52 and husband 54. Thanks to great planning and a commitment to the plan we were able to retire at 50 and 48.

We have neighbors who moved here from Tellico. While they said it was beautiful, it is in the middle of nowhere. 60 miles to nearest hospital.
