Mainly Americans and quite middle class and white collar. I know of about twenty British families- five management agents, one pool company, a builder, a couple of realtors, one blind supplier, the owners of Sherlocks, the rest are on work visas or green cards. The only other Europeans I know are from Rome but have lived in the US longterm.
There is not a huge hispanic contingent though I do know one Puerto Rican family but they moved to the North of America where the property values are higher and then down to Florida.
The books tended to be written in the early days when the regime was stricter, It is pretty relaxed now and no stricter than some villa estate HOAs. If you write a book about something, you are sure to look for the weird and wonderful. No one is interested in reading that it is just a small town like any other and very very (dare I say) normal. Some of the things like the falling brown paper leaves and the snow are a little extraordinary but they are for the tourists and to attract income for the town merchants and naught really to do with the residents. If the schooling was experimental, the kids must have gone to the Montessoti or Navigator school not the ordinary school in town.
