I flunked statistics and suspect the person who compiled these data did so too. Poverty? Yeah, no income other than savings and social security. Unemployment? Sure, we're mostly retired. Violent crime? Yeah, those damn line dancers again. Health? Well, I do see a lot of my neighbors at the doctor's. Comes with this time of life, doesn't it? Surely some surrounding communities were included. Our population isn't this high --- yet.

Most crime statistics are accumulated by political subdivision. I find these to be suspect. Three counties, Three Cities. How were the boundaries of The Villages Determined???
