I'm hoping to have my Mom relocate there as well since SF seems to have a great community for retirees.

Areas made up primarily of retirees won't be effected much or at all based on the unemployment rate.

Check if their liquidity and net worth is a cash position or mostly retiree funds you can't touch.

Maybe it more for retirees? 

Many people get bored after a week or two and won't want to stay longer as there are hardly any cities and not much happening and there's so much jungle you can look at in a day (it's a great place for quiet retirees).

Usually the HOA/COA board members are loaded with retirees who have plenty of time to go around the community and observe what's going on.

Ultimately, we will live in the STR as retirees, and occasionally use it for vacation. 

LHC is definitely primarily a tourist/retiree town. 

This revitalization has created a dynamic urban environment that appeals to young professionals, families, and retirees alike. 

This growth, driven by factors like retirees, job opportunities, and a desirable climate, increases demand for rental properties.Tourism: Florida is a major tourist destination, with attractions like theme parks, beaches, and cultural events drawing millions of visitors each year.
