Default On the developer's commercial website...

...per the U.S. Census, the average income for The Villages homebuyers is $74,300 (I assume that refers to the 2000 census).

Take a look at the website "selling" the villages to commercial entities:
http://www.thevillagescommercialproperty.com/index.asp

Villager's have everything at their fingertips (except prefered tee times, it seems). There is very little reason to leave TV, in fact, the website states that 80% of residential trips are within TV.

To us, that is a great attraction. In our golden years we want to be catered to and accomdated at every turn...and we don't mind paying a bit more to have it that way. I'm thinking life in TV would be much nicer than life out in the general population.
