Now.....as I asked, did you know that there were 60 violent crimes in the last year? If not, why? Just asking a legitimate question. Hey, maybe the 60 number is wrong.
I think the 60 violent crimes for the Villages is incorrect.
To begin the site you linked has the population for TV at 51442.
They do a lot of mashing of numbers and guesstimating. This statement from the site. "We then research and develop mathematical algorithms to statistically estimate the incidences of both violent and property crimes for each neighborhood in America". NOTE: Estimate.
A futher review of their FAQ will yield more misconceptions of their data.

If one is truly interested in crime stats for TV, I would talk to the Sumter County Sheriff, Marion County Sheriff and Lady Lake Police.
Relying/quoting crime info from a Real Estate web site raises a lot of questions.
