It has to do with federal laws against age discrimination in housing (in this case against children and people under 55), and the federal
exemption given for a 55+ community. Twenty percent can be under 55 with this, below, and then TV has its own added restriction of nobody under age 19 living here.

I don't know how anybody here could
not want some people under age 55 and over 19 living here. Many people get really stiff and
crabby after age 70 and it's good to have some new blood and youth around to balance it out.
