Despite the occasional horror story of strict guidelines and overbearing presidents, Homeowner Associations are actually growing in popularity across the country – but by how much?

As of 2019, more than 351,000 HOA communities exist across the United States – accounting for approximately 73 million homeowners. HOAs are especially popular among newly-built homes. Approximately 77 percent of completed homes that are built for sale and 73 percent of sold homes that were built for sale are a part of a community association. This is no small number and you can be sure that many people in your target audience are a part of an HOA. To be sure you’re connecting with those homeowners in a way they will respond to, it’s important to know the demographics and to have accurate, current, data powering your outreach.

Let’s Dig Into Some More HOA Statistics

Not surprisingly, the largest concentrations of HOAs are in the states with the largest populations. The largest concentration of HOAs exists in California (49,200 associations with over 14 million members), according to the U.S. National and State Statistical Review for Community Association Data. This is followed closely by Florida (48,500 associations with over 9.5 million members) and then Texas (21,000 associations with nearly 6 million members).

Properties that are part of an HOA have a total value of more than $7.2 trillion. Those homes also contribute to $96 billion worth of assessments collected to fund the services provided by their HOA. An additional $27.4 billion goes to reserve funds.

Running those HOAs, there are another 55,000 – 60,000 association managers and another 2.4 million community association board and committee members that have contributed over 86 million hours of service annually. Meanwhile, there are approximately 8,000 – 9,000 HOA management companies that employ 100,000 – 105,000 individuals.

Homeowner Associations are no small segment, so if you’re not already targeting your messaging to connect with them and their members, you may want to reconsider.
