So imagine in my exaggerated example, the homeowner is 30, living with his wife (32), his father who is 57, his father's wife who is 49, their brother-in-law and his wife who are 26.
That situation qualifies as over 55 household.

That's true. I always use an example of four people to a household because we do have many two bedroom and some one bedroom homes. I believe that there are occupancy ordinances that limit the number of people in a home to two per bedroom. But yes, if there were six people living in every house the number of LEGAL under 55 residents could exceed 90%. In addition, don't forget that 20% of the homes could have all occupants under the age of 55.
Incidentally, I am one of those homes with an under 55 person. My wife is not yet 55. She is a good responsible person with a job and has never been in trouble. She rarely drinks and obeys all the laws.
Like I said before. The number of problems that we have for a community of this size is very, very small compared to other communities of 100,000 plus people.
