I think it's just a Florida thing that there are so many renters. Retirees buy, but want to spend summers up north with the family. They rent to offset the cost of maintaining 2 homes.
Your assessment looks more realistic. It does seem that the troublemakers in the Villages are more than often kids or grand kids of Villagers who are helping take care of these Villagers. Most of us are hard at work helping our family out and doing other stuff but with a population now of about 160,000 you will see more and more bad apples in the barrel.
