The figures listed there do not reflect the correct numbers most people use for TV. I have not seen the sales figures for 2017.
sales figures for other years are
1990 502
1991 430
1992 562
1993 567
1994 686
1995 700
1996 753
1997 1,054
1998 1,321
1999 1,544
2000 1,776
2001 2,074
2002 2,260
2003 3,329
2004 3,955
2005 4,263
2006 3,935
2007 2,403
2008 2,236
2009 2,115
2010 2,208
2011 2,307
2012 2,850
2013 3,419
2014 2,601
2015** 1,319 through July 31
I believe 2016 was around 2,300 new homes - Will try to find the correct 2015 and 16 figures.

Lyle Gant site says 2294 new home sales in 2015, no data past that. My estimation of 1000 new home sales in 2017 is based on anecdotal info from a TV sales rep who told me mid 2017 sales were running about 60 per month, plus some threads here on TOTV. It could be more or less than 1000 don't know.
I do feel that their new home sales have tanked compared to recent years due to the fact that for the first time, they built a Village (Fenny) that was not cart accessible to the rest of the Villages.
As far as total population, there seems to be no current info other than my wiki link and reported, but not linked info on Daily Sun. Never mind, my point about new town centers stands, if my info on new home sales for 2017 is accurate. If you say there will be 40,000 new residents, that's about 20,000 new home sales. You can do the math. Could take 20 years to sell out.
