From today's Daily Sun:
"Sumter County has about 14,000 seasonal residents, but that number is expected to grow to about 24,000 by 2045.

Lake has an estimated 22,000 snowbirds, which could hit about 35,000 in the next 25 years, while Marion’s seasonal resident population of 18,000 could reach 23,000"


This seems contrary to what economists say about many Baby Boomers staying put. I'm somewhat relieved knowing I probably won't live long enough to fight all those people for a parking space.
