I still wonder why The Villages ownership decided to go with the 80% over 55 for residents instead of making it a HIGHER %. It seems to me that they have PLENTY of would-be buyers over 55 for ANY house to be sold here. I don't see any advantage to anyone for not maximizing the % of over 55 here ?

Because 55+ communities are generally about 90% of the price of non-age restricted homes, to begin with.
Narrowing the age demographic even more, would only increase the price disparity between age-restricted housing and non-age restricted housing.
