Eighty per cent of the
homes must be occupied by at least
one person over the age of 55. It's not that 80% of the people have to be over 55. In the most extreme example, if we had an average of four people per house only 25% of those people must be over the age of 55 in 80% of the homes. The the other 20% of the home could be occupied by four people all whom are under the age of 55.
Look at it this way. You have ten homes with four people in each. Eight of the homes each have one person over 55 and three people under age 55 living in them. The other two homes have four people each under the age of 55 living in them. That would give you forty residents, eight over age 55 and 32 under age 55. That's 80% under 55 and 20% over 55 and all within the law.
In fact in some of the neighborhoods where there are mostly three bedroom homes it's possible that the percentage of over 55 year olds could be even smaller. And I would suspect that there are an average of more then two bedrooms per home in The Villages so it might be possible that less than 20% of the residents could be under ager 55 and we'd still be within the law.
It is an extremely unlikely scenario, but permissible under the law.
