With that said, we have 10.2% of our residents with an LTC.
if the average household has 2 kids then that means that 1 in 5 adults you come across should be LTC.

If accurate that's really incredible. I bet that your zip has very low crime, too.
You are correct. We have a very low crime rate. Violent crime is minimal.
Reminds me of a time I sat beside a guy from Manhattan on a plane bound for LA. He had a layover at DFW. I'd say he was about 30 years old, and he said he worked in the garment industry. We talked a bit, and then he asked, "I've heard many people in Texas own guns. Do you actually own any guns?"
"Yes, quite a few as a matter of fact."
"What about handguns? Do you own any handguns?"
"Yes, I've got several."
He was quiet for a bit, then asked, "If you own so many guns, do you have lots of crime where you live?"
"No, we hardly have any at all."

He didn't ask me anything else about guns. And, I didn't care to try to educate someone who had already admitted they didn't own a car and had never been hunting.

If it isn't the highest, that's got to be near to the highest percentage in the state. :clapping:

This link will give you population by zip code for the 210 census. You have to download a .csv file which can be opened in Excel. Then press ctrl F to look for your Zip Code.

My zip code shows that 5.9 % of our population has LTC. Edited for typo.
