I think that your estimate could be a bit high because I would expect that a higher percentage of owners of villas would rent them out during part of the year. If you lived in a villa I would think that more of your neighbors would be snowbirds.

Also, I would guess that full time residents join clubs than frequently than part-timers. A house near me is never occupied by the owner and is normally empty, obviously no club memberships would come from that house.

Just my 2 cents' worth.
