There are slightly more than 40 million seniors (over 65) in the U.S.
There will be approximately 110,000 residents in TV by build out
That means that the villages needs to appeal to .00275% of the senior citizens of the U.S. (and of course, many are under 65
The Villages sold approximately 1% of the new homes built in 2011 in the U.S.
Looking at these figures I would assume; a.) That everyone eligible does not need or even have the opportunity to live in TV for it to be a success b.) That the Villages must be more appealing than the average community for seniors, by a long shot
There are currently 39,890,000 seniors that cannot fit into TV, so I hope, for their sake, TV isn't their dream destination.
For the 110,000 that ultimately make it - they are fortunate indeed.
