Now add spouses under 55 of an owner over 55---2 or 3,000? Add renters under 55, add "adult children" under 55 living with parents/grandparents. Then add 30 days of the under 19 crowd/year. My guess is over 30,000 residents/guests under 55. Now add locals who come to the squares or shopping plazas.

How about all the over 55s who do things wrong like the man who shot up a woman's front door (33 rounds) because he was infatuated with her. She would not go into his hot tub. Villages man 'infatuated' with neighbor accused of shooting 33 rounds into her home | WFTV

You will find people committing crimes at every age.

Very true.

I wasn't addressing the age of the criminals, just the demographics of TV

The fact that a door shooting was committed by someone over 55 has NOTHING to do with the thread or the point.

People with very bad addictions of various kinds probably do not make it to 55. My younger brother was here for about 18 months but had a D.U.I. and leaving the scene of the accident around 2012 on Morse and CR466. The car he was driving hit one of those huge tires on the jack upped trucks. Damage to my parent's car but little damage to that big truck's tire. Was locked up but still could not break the alcoholic addiction he had from 1998 onward. He was a great computer programmer for big banks and insurance companies doing life insurance annuity calculations. My parents though had to throw him out of the house when he kept on with his drinking. He wound up in Tampa then St. Pete where he was doing great until the church program he was in got terminated because it had brought in a child sex abuser into its drug addiction treatment program. They were sometimes around kids in the church. My younger brother was working and getting better in that program. But when it was cancelled-- the child sex abuser had also been one of his roommates-- he started drinking again. This was the last bout of that addiction as he ruined his vital organs ability to heal. He died after a week in a coma. We went to his funeral service at the church which had had the treatment center which was no longer serving people in the community because of that lack of doing a thorough background check on the child sexual abuser. This child sex abuser was probably around 28 at that time. And from Michigan or one of those northern states.

This was in mid December of 2014 that they held his funeral in St Petersburg or near there. My younger brother was 51. This was a few months after my sister-in-law's brother took his own life after he also had been kicked out of their house in Burke, VA after he would not give up his semi-auto weapons he so much beloved. He was also a paranoid schizophrenic. Probably around 58 or 59 though in 2014. He had been a yoga meditation instructor in India living and working there but then his mentor died and he was a bit adrift. Had been a medical student going to become a doctor but somehow became more attracted to yoga in India and had lived over there for probably 12 years or more.

80/20 has to do with who is on the deed, not who lives in the home. We see many children moving here to take care of parents. Thank them for that.

My nurse friend moved here I believe to take care of her mother with the aid of her sister who is also here in the Villages. The mother passed so she eventually went back to work as a nurse in this area. She has other family responsibilities too though as many of us do.

I know a number of Villagers who have sisters or brothers who also live in the Villages. And some of these do have kids in tow. Sometimes younger than 19 so they have to move to one of the areas for those who are still active with homework and the other responsibilities of being a parent of a school age child.

I interpreted the document that Gracie posted to mean just the opposite.

"At least 80 percent of the units are occupied by at least one person who is 55 years of age or older; "

Yes, so true.

I wonder what "occupied" means under the law? Some of my friends/neighbors are off on cruises and the like a good part of the year. Know some who are up in North Carolina, Georgia and elsewhere for six months each year. Sometimes they have adult kids staying there; sometimes they do not. They might rent these places out during that time or just have a relative staying there.

I'm assuming that "occupied" means the owner, renter, or someone under lease.
I wouldn't think it would mean company or friends that just pop by from time to time.
