I would rent for several months in the summer and look around at the various neighborhoods to see how many people are around. I was in one neighborhood that seemed to be deserted on the street my house was on.
My sales rep from TV told me that in the newer areas there is around 50% of the homes populated year round, in the older areas it is about 75%. That makes sense to me because a lot of younger people buy into the newer areas and still either have a job up north and rent their homes or do not fully make the move until later in their life.
