It is all to do with the Fair Housing Act which prohibits age discrimination in housing. Designated 55+ communities are allowed to restrict the number of younger residents if the community maintains the 80/20 rule. If the community falls below 80% 55 or older ratio, it will permanently lose its 55+ status and will have to admit any age any time. Based on that, I would bet the farm that someone in The Villages organization is keeping track.
