Oops, almost forgot...

72% full time. Wow! I was expecting more like 50-60%.

We consider ourselves full time. But last year we rented out our house here & went back 'home' to S. Fl for four months. It's cold here. But we aren't doing that again. We'll just invest in long underwear. So I guess we would be 'sunbirds'. Or 'snowflakes'. Just going to get away on a Caribbean cruise in Feb.

I don't understand all the angst over a simple question. It's not like anyone is being forced to give out their social security information.

Just answer the question if you want or don't answer it if you don't.

For what it's worth, so far the poll seems to agree with what I've ben told over the years. About one third of the people leave in the summertime.

WE, my wife and I drive a bicycle and/or an electric cart, you hardly know when we go by and so you can enjoy your time here. Thought we might be full time, but sort of re-looking at the options.

Smile Then There Are

Then there are the ones who think they are funny and act stupid. We are full time for many years and love it. Why the paranoia and fear over a simple question and survey.

Would love to know the percentages.

We are full time.

Great, now I have to change my locks, reprogram the garage door opener, change my wifi password, change the random timers on my lights, and hire an alarm company.

Actually, that is an excellent idea. Then I can add the other options people noted. I can also add options for people to list their address and daily schedule of when they are not home.....LOL!

I am here full time until they carry me out.

My understanding is population swells by 35% during the snowbird season, (January through the end on March). Most leave after Easter.

Population is about 118,300 when everyone is here!
