2012 Community Association Statistics

The Foundation for Community Association Research has published its 2012 statistical review. For Oklahomans, some interesting numbers:

1. The report has Oklahoma in the category of having between 1,000 and 2,000 community associations (defined as planned communities, homeowner associations, and condominium communities).
2. According to a nationwide survey of community association residents performed by Ibope Zogby in 2012, 70% rate their community association experience as positive and 22% rate it as neutral.
3. 88% of community association residents report their opinion that their association board strives to serve the best interests of their community.
4. 81% report a "good" or "great" return on their assessments.
5. 24% of all housing units exist within a community association.
