Snowbirds is a term used nationally (i.e. Arizona, florida etc.)
Seasonal rsident was a term used initially by employees of The Villages for PR purposes.
People who live in warmer states that experience the influx of people escaping the cold weather have described seasonal residents utilizing the same profiles.
I did not hear the term seasonal residents from folks living in warmer climates Arizona, Nevada, etc as they used snow birds.
Seasonal residents who bought a home here provide continuity with their village friends and obviously economic support.
As to renting. It depends. I know of people who live in adjacent counties who buy homes in The Villages just to rent them vis a vis homeowners who rent out their homes during the months they are away.
Too many rented homes I believe weakens a community
