I am having a hard time believing it.

All the numbers I look at are in the 5-7% range. Some even lower. If 1 in 2 people is 50%. See where this is going? 39% seems off!
In my opinion you can’t equate income to wealth. Not totally anyway. Especially in The Villages. Most have already made their money. The income they show now is from social security, retirement and investments. Smart people manage their income in accordance with the tax burden they’re comfortable with.
