And THAT as we age, is a HUGE issue. Beautiful there, but it snows. |
According to this site median age is 68, 67 for women and 69 for men.
Current The Villages, Florida Population, Demographics, Statistics, ages, gender and race in 2012, 2013 The stats on the population are obviously low, at just over 51,000 so they are behind the times. The Villages grows so fast informational sources do not seem able to keep up to date. |

Our village of Tamarind Grove was built in 2011. We have 13 CYV's on our street and we have two spouses that are 70+ and the other 24 or so residents are between 58 and 65, which would probably make the average age in the early 60's.

WOW I am truly amazed.

We are 58 and 49. Retired Jan 2013, closed on our home here March 2013! We are full timers or a Frog and tadpole. (lol)

Sanibel is a good mix but I think there are more under 65 than over 65. I'm pretty sure that holds for all the Villages south of 466A.

Don't forget that there are a LOT of adult children living here - either very young (19-25) and not quite out of the nest, or older (30s-40s) and have moved back to the nest for whatever reason, plus quite a few disabled adult children who will live with their parents for a long time. These skew the "average age" of residents - they are residents also.
I don't know if they get these numbers from the resident ID info or not, but am guessing they do, or possibly they are getting it when people close on their homes - who knows if it ages as we do. We bought at 55, didn't move down permanently until we were 60. Now our neighborhood, which was built in 2006, is mostly late 60s, early 70s - none of us get younger. Most were around 65 when they bought new. Resales are a mix of older and younger buyers. There are lots of retirement places where you get more house for the money, but if you want mostly warmer weather in winter, and no snow/ice, and lots to do besides golf, and nearby access to medical care, it is hard to beat TV. My feel about age ranges is that we are still in the younger group in our early 60s, but would agree that the newer the village, the younger the overall age. |

you're correct, but

This is strictly a guess, based on what I see in the activities I attend. Again, the newer the village, the lower the average age, but you will find all ages in all neighborhoods. And also remember that probably 10-20% of buyers in new Villages came from older Villages. All the retirement articles are saying that baby boomers are having to work longer, in general, and as company pensions disappear, and govt pensions get more restrictive, and life expectancies extend, it only makes sense that the average age of retirees everywhere goes up. I do think, in the last few years, with many 50 plus workers, as well as others, losing their jobs, that there has been a bump of early retirees just because their jobs ended, not because they decided to retire. I'm among them, expected to work until 62, was downsized and chose not to relocate to continue working at my company. Would think this will happen less frequently as the economy improves. |
