Clermont sits on the highest terrain in peninsular Florida, and that changes how roofs behave. Homes along the ridge in Kings Ridge, Legends, Bella Collina and the hills above Lake Minneola take wind at a different angle and intensity than roofs on the flat, and elevated, exposed roof planes lose shingles at the edges and ridges first. Edge metal, starter course adhesion and ridge cap fastening are not details here — they are the whole ballgame.
The other Clermont factor is age clustering. Enormous numbers of homes went up between 1998 and 2008, so whole neighborhoods hit replacement age within a few years of each other. Homeowners see a neighbor's roof go and assume theirs is next. Sometimes it is. Often it isn't, and the honest answer depends on underlayment, ventilation and how the original crew handled the valleys — not on the calendar.
