For the years 2000 - 2010 there were either 0,1, or a maximum of 2 cases of chlamydia in persons age 55 and over in Sumter county. And the total reported cases of combined syphilis, GC, and chlamydia in Sumter country for each year has only once been 4 (2001) , once 3 (2005), twice 2, three times one, and three times zero.
You cannot break down the data to determine if the reported cases are Villagers so this is as close as I can get it. Also obviously some Villagers live in other counties. It is interesting that as the population of the Villages grew, there were not more cases being reported, and most of the newer population would be in Sumter county.
This data does not include HIV/AIDS

GOOD TO KNOW. Thanks for sharing.....appreciate the research.
Orlando Sentinal article mentioned that THE VILLAGES sprawled through several counties.....so that would be Sumter, Lake and Marion Counties plus other close by retirement communities in central Florida. As another poster mentioned, I would think a lot of the visitors to the squares do not even live there in TV. NUFF SAID.
