Sumter County, not The Villages
Sumter County context, not The Villages figures
These are Sumter County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as The Villages measurements.
- Establishments in Sumter County2,081
- Employment at those establishments, Sumter County31,813
- Covered employment, Sumter County40,436
- Average annual pay, Sumter County$57,856
- Average weekly wage, Sumter County$1,113
- Housing units permitted, Sumter County3,961
- Of those, single family, Sumter County3,537
- County product, 2024, Sumter County$7,558,509,000
- County product change over the prior year, Sumter County10.3 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Sumter County$121,395
Every figure in this section is published for Sumter County as a whole and is not a measurement of The Villages. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
The Villages questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in The Villages, Florida?
83,498, in 48,242 households. The Villages CDP covers 32.65 square miles of land, which is 2,557 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is The Villages in?
The Villages lies in more than one. By area it is 88.3 percent in Sumter County, 11.7 percent in Marion County. This page sits under Sumter County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in The Villages?
$77,622. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $400,100. Median gross rent is $1,397 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to The Villages businesses?
17 7(a) approvals totalling $7.0 m, across 14 lenders, median approval $178,000, plus 3 504 approvals worth $2.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in The Villages, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to The Villages borrowers get paid back?
No rate is published for The Villages. only 3 resolved loans, too few to publish a rate, and a percentage over that few outcomes would move several points on a single loan. The counts are shown instead.
Are the county figures on this page The Villages figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Sumter County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of The Villages.
Is zoning published for The Villages?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
