Those numbers are correct if you are a baby, but IF you made it to 73, which is sometimes listed as the median age of TV residents, social security tables predict you will live, on average, to 84 or 86 (m/f.)

You had me sweating for a minute there.
Huh? My point was people who are now retiring in their 60's are buying both in the south and NORTH. The post I responded to claimed only 70 and 80-year-olds live in the North. Unfortunately, this is untrue because a vast majority have passed.
