There are roughly 1400 homes per square mile in The Villages. Ocala has 530. The Villages has roughly 50% more homes.

So a lightning strike is almost 3 times as likely to hit a home in The Villages. One could reasonably expect 50% more home strikes per year in TV.

This does not argue for or against installing LPS. It only explains why you are more likely to hear about strikes in TV.
