Yes, I have read that Wikipedia article. It's wrong and has been showing that number for quite a while.

Here is my reference:

The Villages Daily Sun, October 9, 2017
Flurry of Store Openings Highlight Vitality - The Villages Daily Sun: Growth

"Population growth accounts for all this continuing growth in the retail, restaurant and service industries. For example, The Villages welcomed about 1,725 new neighbors just from March through August. That means 115,656 people now live in the Lake, Marion and Sumter county sections of The Villages. Of the total, 10,416 residents live in Marion, 14,355 in Lake and 90,885 in Sumter."
