The Villages will never be a "metropolitan" city, regardless of the population. It is also hard to consider it a "small city" when you consider that while there is plenty to do here, it's aptly called "The Villages."

The Villages' populace thrives on and revels in reading much of the printed dirt offered in the daily newspaper and what is available online. Even some of the topics here on TOTV indicate that TV is still very much a small town. Many have referred to TV as a type of Disneyland.

An over 55 community is the same all over the country. 20% of residents can be under 55. I am amazed at the amount of our adult residents that still don't understand the simple main and basic laws that govern this. Again -- this is indicated by the many threads and posts that refer to this.

Personally, I know of no children living permanently here with their parents. I'm not sure TV has a definite number (percentage) of those who live here who are under 55 because I don't believe they are all registered.
