There are a lot of 30 and 40 year old who are interested in cardio drumming, bocce and the other 10,000 clubs dedicated to 55+.
As far as housing, I bet north of 95% are occupied by 55+.

From the HOPA Questions and Answers document: In order to qualify for the exemption, the housing community/facility must satisfy each of the following requirements:
a) at least 80 percent of the occupied units must be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older per unit;
b) the owner or management of the housing facility/community must publish and adhere to policies and procedures that demonstrate an intent to provide housing for persons 55 years or older; and
c) the facility/community must comply with rules issued by the Secretary for verification of occupancy through reliable surveys and affidavits. AirBnBs are not in violation of those requirements. AirBnBs that rent to under 55 are not in violation of those requirements. A "bet" that 95% of AirBnBs rent to under 55 still does not violate those requirements.
I'll say that I bet that over 80% of the homes are occupied by at least one person over the age of 55. There, that settles it.
