I believe this situation is not seen as an asset by The Developer. Until the day comes that he can brag about most of us making s lifetime commitment here, I don't think we will get any accurate data. No Freedom of Information Act in effect here, but I've already traded that stuff for the koolaid.

Obviously, the Developer has the information available as to the breakdown of full time/part time as it is one of the questions asked yearly in the Survey. Yet I've never seen that information published and people are obviously curious about it. The "party line" as espoused by the Sales Reps is that it is around 60% full time and 40% part time.
I find the opinion from ijusluvit to be very interesting, as to why the information isn't released. I would speculate further that if the true number of absentee owners were known, it might highlight the fact that there are a heck of a lot of rentals going on. And a high rate of rental properties isn't necessarily a selling feature for a retirement community.
