Default $85,000 Average Income - Are They Kidding?

In the link below The Villages Daily Sun states that the AVERAGE income in TV is around $85K a year (Thanks DickY). With the recent post about minimum income, and people wondering if $4,000K per month would work, others saying they get by on $1500/month, the idea that the AVERAGE income is $85K seems utterly ridiculous. I can see it may be higher than the averages if working people who own but don't live there are factored in, and I could see TV running a little higher than FL overall as a result (but even then, plenty of places in FL are much more expensive than TV to live). But the number of $85K just seems ridiculous.

Where do you think the statistic came from? Do you think it's valid, or just something to draw advertising in and drive up rates? Do you think that many of TV'ers work? It's a mind boggling concept that TV, a mostly retirement community, would be more than 3x the national or state average incomes, where all the working people are included in the average too.
