The Villages may very well sell to only 55+. I remember that coming up in conversation during my purchase. If an Agency was not asking for detailed records but was willing to accept some extrapolation then hearing that the number of 55+ residents increased by 3,000 each year might be enough to convince them that the overall community was at least 80% 55+.
With 3,000 sales of new homes to 55+ there would need to be at least 750 sales of existing homes to under 55 to even begin to bring the ratio below 80%. Yes, homes get sold to under 55 and yes, it is the occupant's age that matters and not the owner's age, but 750 is a big number especially considering some of those will eventually raise the ratio on their 55th birthday.

I don't think it would be legal to prohibit someone under 55 from buying a house in The Villages. The over 55 restriction applies to the residents, not the owner.
