In other words, young adults can buy homes in their own name, and have their grandparents live there - for example.
To be considered a 55+ retirement community, at least 80% of the homes have to be owned/occupied by at least one person 55 years old or older. Up to 20% can be owned/occupied by individuals who are not yet 55; but a person must be 19 or older to live here full time. I believe there are two villages here that are "family villages, but I do not know for sure.

I have not seen statistics that show the percentage of homes presently occupied by 55+.
