I'm not sure if you misunderstand the wording of the law or if you just worded your post in a way that sounds a little confusing to me. But to clarify, a community doesn't HAVE to allow 20% to be under 55.
In order to comply with HOPA, AT LEAST 80% of the homes must be occupied by one person that is 55+. What is done with the other 20%, is up to the individual community. The last 55+ community I lived in required 100% of the homes to be occupied by at least one person who was 55+.
