The fallacy in your assumption is that all the population growth in Sumter County will occur in The Villages. That information is not stated in the state's projections. The Villages occupies only one little corner of Sumter (and Lake and Marion, also)-leaving plenty of space for other developers.

Please note that I didn't state what percentage of the projected growth would be in the Villages. However, I would expect that a good percentage of that growth would be attributed to the Villages continuing to grow.
Overall, it projects a substantial growth for this area of Florida and one that will impact how we travel in this region in 2030. Again, I assume that the Villages will be a part of this continued growth pattern as our developer does more than most other developers.
