I'm guessing around half the population between 50 and 65 have gotten their first vaccine, but aren't completely vaccinated yet.
So the overall average of 80% from YOUR first sentence, I believe, doesn't fall in line with logic and deductive reasoning.
I'd say the overall average is still under 70% state-wide.

The population of Florida is 21.5 million, not 25 million. The 80% is for seniors being vaccinated from the State of Florida website. The vast majority of people in the Villages are 65 and older. Of course there a few people younger than 65 in the Villages, but not many.
Of the seniors in the Villages, I’d put that percentage at about 80%. I’d also guess that the numbers of anti-vaccination people in the Villages are lower than in other parts of Florida of the same age group, because of the concentration of seniors in the Villages, and the higher risk for concentrations of older people.
