Opt-Out
Residents can opt-out of putting their name in this directory so it’s not accurate for these purposes. I suspect it is representative though, i.e., 10% may opt-out.

Nor is it for the majority of the world.

[QUOTE=DrHitch;2321667]Hi all,
I posed this question directly to the editors of the Villages Daily Sun newspaper but got no reply, so trying here: Each day, on page 4 of the newspaper there are stories from several states along with demographics of the number of houses from each state... I have been keeping a master summary list of those state-by-state numbers here (Demographics - The Villages 101) I'm missing all owner demographics from Arkansas, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Utah. Are there no owners from those four Look in the phone book there are quite a few of us from Arkansas. |

Since the Daily Sun is the printer of the phone book, I would think that this is where the state stats come from. However, at closing you can elect to not be in the phone book, thus would not be included in these state stats. Also, all MLS closings would not be included unless the new owner contacts the daily sun and requests to be included in the phone book. Go to the phone book and count the number of Villagers in a specific state and see if it is close to what is in your spreadsheet/printed in the paper.

In this time period, I’ve known many people who died or moved away. They are still listed as residents. Unless you notify them to take you out of the phone book you are still in |

I suspect that the stats are taken from the data base of the green Village ID card that we all have. I know that is how they maintain the record of how many of us are over age 55.

For this year - sometime in 2023 to today:
Arkansas 147 Delaware 318 Rhode Island - not reported Utah 61 Rhode Island was 461 the previous year. I have not figured out on what date they switch to new data, but they have not done it yet. Also missing this past year were Washington DC (20 the previous year) Puerto Rico (not reported last year either) |

The Developer owns the Sun so likely leans red. But more than that it believes in GREEN.
