Why shocking?

20% of home OWNERS can be under 55. That's 20% of about 57,000 homes or 11,400. Many of those would have a spouse also under 55, so let's add another 8,600 for a total of 20,000. Now add spouses under 55 of an owner over 55---2 or 3,000? Add renters under 55, add "adult children" under 55 living with parents/grandparents. Then add 30 days of the under 19 crowd/year. My guess is over 30,000 residents/guests under 55. Now add locals who come to the squares or shopping plazas.
