I live in Silver Lake and from my house to Brownwood it's 11 miles going down Morse. So unless it's less than 1/2 mile wide, 5 miles is way off. It's about 5.5 miles wide at it's widest point and about 4 miles wide on average. But, you'd have to consider that there are some areas within those boundaries that are not part of the Villages. So, the 31 square miles seems about right.
