I do not have the time or inclination to see how many crimes are committed by under 55 versus over 55, but I think IMHO that some of the reporting may be emphasizing the younger crimes, no proof of this, just a general impression. Also, this is NOT a gated community, so there have been many instances of visitors committing crimes within the borders of The Villages.

Actually none of the owners need to be 55 or over. The standard is homes with one or more occupants being 55 or over. A 25 year old son homeowner, with his 55 year old mother living in , qualifies the residence.
