It's a FEDERAL LAW...

Per HUD:

The Fair Housing Act: Housing for Older Persons | HUD.gov / U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
I just read that act and it said that to qualify for over 55 status AT LEAST 80% of residents NEED to be over age 55. So, that means that The Villages COULD be 95% or 100 % to qualify. In my opinion, the nearly 100% would be, personally, preferable to me because age 30 workers could easily commute to work from the nearby non-Villages. I suppose there could be an exception for an over-55 resident that needed nearly full-time care by one of their children in order to continue to live in their home. But, that would be only a small % of residents.
