Fumar...I don't think so. :girlneener:

Nope!
 

It's in the new Village of Fumar, where all the curmudgeons live! :1rotfl:

:highfive: Chels

It is very quiet in the Village of Fumar. There are no doggies or geckos allowed.

Noisy geckos?
 

My hearing must be going....I hear an occasional dog, but I can't say the noise of the geckos has bothered me much.

Coney my dear. If you came down to The VIllages all this would become crystal clear and you could see that it defies description. PLEASE come down, we want to give you a warm TV welcome. Hurry! GG

Just do the lifestyle tour. It is cheap and wonderfully fulfilling and NO ONE bugs you to buy. Believe that.

:pepper2:

Re: TV population---> www.thevillages.net advertises (under employment section) "a community of over 70.000"...

Seventy thousand headed for 110,000 but should not be...
 

thought of as comparable to cities of that size because the concept is so very different.

Like any other subject or question on this forum or any others....you will get a many answers as there are participants...somewhere in the averaging they are all correct...including advising to c'mon down....there is no way to gage without being here....there really are no comparisons that would do the actual here any justice.....lotsa old(er) people feeling and acting younger than if they lived anywhere else on the planet!!!

BTK

Yeh, the correctly named village
 

ROTFLMAO when I read about the Village of Fumar. I bet one of the Villas sights is Skip-erville.

You can tell the home owners there. They all carry their "covenant comic books" around with them.

Population of TV, 26 Dec 08
 

Sorry I didn’t respond quicker, but it took me a lot longer to make the physical census of TV than I’d planned. These numbers are quite fluid as more snowbirds become snowflakes or even frogs and the number of renters changes drastically with the season. So, these statistics are valid only for COB, 26 December 2008.

Permanent, fulltime residents (Frogs): 43,684

Occasional partial-year residents (Snowflakes): 19,735

Half-year residents (Snowbirds): 17,492

Renters: 11,006

Numbers will overlap a tad in that many flakes and birds also rent their property. It was especially difficult to get an accurate count today as many residents are away for the holidays.

These numbers presented here are as accurate as can be compiled today. I apologize for their imprecision.

Muncle, thank heavens, finally someone has stepped up and compiled some accurate statistics. :laugh: However I think I may have to move from snowbird to snowflake category. That would be 17,491 snowbirds and 19,736 snowflakes.

I'm sure you want others to inform you of any category changes on a daily basis so you can keep your statistics accurate.

I read somewhere and my experience pretty much confirms that the demographics of the population of TV is that it is overwhelmingly white, Republican and Catholic.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

You can go to the villages.net, open up the daily sun, and click on rate card located on the left. There are more statistics than you may want.

Do you think it's a co-incidence that in the graphs provided by TV, that they move from actual numbers to "projections" right at the exact time the Fl real estate market started to correct itself from the big bubble?

Those of you who have been around, would you say that your impression of the growth in population and home prices over the span of '05 through the present is consistent with what happened before, as the projections would have you believe?
