Since The Villages grows by about 5000 people per year, and has been growing at that rate for several years, the population will not double in 5 years. The current population of The Villages is closer to 120,000. The hospital also supports the surrounding areas. I am not sure how many additional people that is. Regardless, the population will not double in 5 years. The new facilities being built in Brownwood will shoulder some of the burden. Do you actually live here?

Fast forward 5 years, you now have 200,000 people. 70% of them are geriatrics. The total population count of geriatrics is now 140,000 people. Your hospital is built to accommodate 70,000 people. That's somewhere around 38% of the total population (which is 200,000 people)
