Not even close! If you look at the registered voters in Sumter County (which is a pretty good representation of full time residents and the only easy way I know to quantify the age of a resident) the largest percentage of under 60 is indeed south of 44, but only 21.4%. This does not include west of the turnpike, where the percentage is 15.9%. Next you have South of 466A and South of 466 at 6.8% under 60 and finally north of 466 at 8.4%.
Where you do see difference is in the percentage of 70 and over.....South of 44 it's only 34.5%, west of the turnpike it's 42.3%, south of 466A it's 68.5%, south of 466 its 76.2% and north of 466 it's 73.2% that are 70 and over.
