I don't know who started the lie, but the official cenus is

24,069 men

27,373 women

That's 53.2% women, 46.8% men

Odds favor a guy having more than one gal, but hardly 10-1. So I guess the rest of the article must be as inaccurate, too.

Although STDs among 55+ in Central Florida, which includes more than The Villages, is up 50 to 70%, which is pretty stiff increase.

That COULD mean three or four people in OUR hundred thousand. Only the Shadow knows.


I wonder how many need depends?

[manaboutown]

The life expectancy of women exceeds that of men by a few years so the OP's statistics appear realistic to me. After all, The Villages is at least 80% a senior (55 and over) community.

[cbh1975]

Yeah. That article needed some serious fact checking.

What number was the STD increase based on? That makes all the difference.

Is that count single and/or married men? Seems rather odd to me.

Stastics can be deceiving. If 10 people had STD and the next year there were 17, that would be up 70% but it would hardly be an epidemic.

Exactly right. We would need to know what time period the increase represents and what the overall population increase was during that time period.

So what are the other 50,000 people if they are neither male or female?

You are sooo sharp!

[perrjojo]

I suppose it could mean 10 single women to every 1 single man...who knows? Who cares?

National numbers of those 45 or older

STD Risk Rising Among Seniors.

According the CDC, close to 2,550 cases of syphilis were reported among adults between the ages of 45 and 65 in 2010 -- up from around 900 cases in 2000. And the number of reported chlamydia cases in the age group almost tripled, from around 6,700 in 2000 to 19,600 a decade later.

Still no answer from Mountaineer about the missing 50,000 people.

I am betting the "other" 50,000 people......
...............................are not registered to VOTE here....
................................................NO R.........
....have a Drivers' License showing 32159, 32162, 32163, or 34785 zip code,
.................................................N OR.....
.....were they counted as living here in the last census.

The 100,000 figure is simply a Scientific Wild Ass Guess.........
....based ONLY on how many homes are IN The Villages...and then....
...guessing average number of people per home in a retirement community.

This is only MY Scientific Wild Ass Guess, with no science to back it up.

Anybody, besides me, notice the LACK of traffic in the Summer.

If you go to the government website quickfactscensus.gov and search Florida and The villages the 53.1 % female reported earlier is accurate.
