Default The unemployment rate in Sumter County is..

half of the rest of the state.
Retirement communities like TV usually have a higher than average income (TV is supposedly approaching $80,000) most of which is fixed SS, other retirement plans...hence they tend to be more recession resilient.

There will always be a certain percent like the ones who canceled because the stock market is down. I guess I never looked at the stock market to determine if I was ever going to take a trip or buy something. If they had to sell stock to make the trip maybe that is a problem....shame on them...bad planning.

The only thing housing prices have done is returned to reality.
