It amazes me how many times this rule is misinterpreted. Full time residents under the age of 55 are allowed in 100% of the homes. The rule requires that at least 80% of the homes be occupied by AT LEAST ONE RESIDENT over the age of 55.

Doing the math it would work out like this. Let's assume that there are 80,000 homes here. Twenty percent or 16,000 of those homes could have four people, all under the age of 55 living in them. The other 64,000 homes would only need one person over the age of 55 and could be occupied by three, or more other people under 55.

Assuming the possibility of four people per household that would mean 320,000 people in total with 64,000 of them over 55 and The Villages would still legally be an over 55 community.

This scenario is, of course, highly unlikely, but it seems that a lot of people don't undertand it.
