I don't know what that has to do with this thread, at all. None of it has anything to do with era-based trends and interests.

This is from publicly available voter data from the Division of Elections.

:agree:...:agree:

Very interesting and a brilliant idea...to think to look. :thumbup:

This definitely shows a steady decrease in age...based on age of CDD. :cool:

Good job! :ho:

Era- Based trends? Pretty fancy term there. The only trend I notice is that no matter what I write on this forum you take exception to but to answer your question you would have to read the entire thread.

Some thirst for and seek knowledge and facts, others run away from them...as fast as they can.

Like you...I'm one of the former. :thumbup:

Gee and I thought that the people purchasing homes 20 years ago would now be younger than the people purchasing homes today...must be the heat.

The historic district is becoming the legacy district... my parents bought in Lady Lake across the bridge near Mr Schwartz and they have passed away. My brother inherited. My uncle bought in district one, he was one of the first, and he has passed away. His children inherited.

We're moving into that area and I'm still in my late 50's. Last time we were there we noticed a pretty wide variety of ages. Closest to our house is older, but down the street are a few around our age.

I have no idea of the point you're trying to make...unless it's simply to take a personal shot at me. :oops:

The age of the 'voters' represents residents (which was a brilliant idea to research)...NOT a representation of those who are buying. :ohdear:

Actually, the developer has all the data necessary to calculate the average ages in any unit (village, county, street, villa "hood", or any other unit you can devise). All that info is in a database in one of the best data base systems devised by man, the IBM AS400. Rolled out in the 70's, it is a number cruncher second to none. All of the Villages businesses have access to all this data. For example, the loan originator at Citizens Bank has all the notes taken by the person who set up your lifestyle visit, and the address of every home your agent took you to. This is all in addition to your personal info such as name, address, phone #'s , age et al including a picture. The ability is there, I just don't know how much crunching is actually done. I figure somebody is bound to get curious eventually.

We live in one of the smaller Villages. It has 54 homes and because it is geographically isolated from other Villages by a major road, two golf courses and a swamp, over the last eight years we have all learned a lot about each other.

Among those who live here in our village are fascinating people from this continent and the world and among them are people who have moved and shaken this earth before finding their home here. They range in actual age between mid fifties to late eighties, but most of them have hidden inside of them a young and spirited 29 year old.

They all are fascinating to listen to and live close to and some of them fit perfectly into easy friendships and others are among those who just wave and smile.

I believe that people do not change a lot in personality over the course of their lives. Some fit our idea of friends and some do not.

Lots of choices and opportunities to enjoy others here.

Not only that, but many of the manufactured homes are being replaced by new site built homes and the people buying, or building those tend to be on the younger side.

As to the Census Bureau I don't believe that they count The Villages in the census. The Villages lies in several different communities or counties. Some of it is in Lady Lake, some in Wildwood, some in Fruitland Park and possibly Leesburg. The rest lies in unincorporated areas of Sumter and Marion counties. If I'm not mistaken, these what are counted in the census. That may be why it's so difficult to determine exactly how many people live in The Villages.

The Census WILL NOT break out that information by Village. So your reply needs to be revisited. As to why a select few want the information, reading the entire thread may help you with that answer.

OP, post #10 is probably as close as you will get to actual data regarding age and it’s by CDD rather than by Village. We found it to be true that generally you will find the younger retirees living in the newer Villages and we have moved four times in the last 13 years in The Villages. That said, you find chronological age is not necessarily the same as the “actual” age of people either - - If you get my drift. We found living close to what you want (or need) to do the most with your time is more important than what particular Village you live in.
