Your village has two iron golems because the ratio of iron golems to villagers is rounded down to the nearest whole number, so to spawn a second iron golem while the first is still alive requires 20 villagers, and the presence of zombies nearby that villagers can detect, causing them to gossip and spawn more golems. The iron golem spawning process is also influenced by other factors, including the number of villagers, the presence of hostile mobs, and the distance between villagers and iron golems.
