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.

You are assuming EVERYONE in TV votes and the data is correct and updated. And, what about all the snowbirds who vote in other states? What about investors who own more than one home? Those who recently moved here and are not part of that data?
I find it quite amusing that some do not comprehend people who are now retiring are IN THE SAME AGE GROUP. Yeah, let's just continue to pretend they ALL buy in the south. Not one of them buys a preowned home. 70 and 80 year olds are somehow managing to buy ALL the preowned homes because they are not content with the home they have been living in for many years. To keep themselves amused, they keep buying homes.
