Each day, on page 4 of the newspaper there are stories from several states along with demographics of the number of houses from each state...

I have been keeping a master summary list of those state-by-state numbers here (Demographics - The Villages 101)

I'm missing all owner demographics from Arkansas, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Utah. Are there no owners from those four states?

The newspaper has not updated those numbers for well over a year. Yet the boards in the sales offices have daily/weekly new owner demographics. Doesn't make sense.

Random thoughts welcome, but not as important as other pressing issues.....
Every year we receive a big Residential Directory for The Villages.A big part of that is names, telephone numbers (including cell phones), addresses, and where people came from. Nice to have! The next section is the names of residents (single or couples) BY STATE. This section doesn’t give the numbers, but it’s easy to count the columns or in some cases the actual numbers. For example, there are four columns of names per page. Only half of a column are people from North Dakota. There are fewer—33–entries for people from Utah. Rhode Island has six columns of residents! There is one column of residents from Arkansas. There are 3.5 columns of residents from Delaware. By contrast, there are almost nine columns of residents from California (same for Iowa) and thirty-two columns of residents from New Jersey.

This book also has a lot of useful maps of The Villages and its shopping areas at the beginning of the book.
