The Community Associations Institute (CAI), our national trade group organization, each year publishes a report about homeowner associations and condominium associations statistics. The report includes information about the number of community associations in the United States, along with particular association data. For example, estimated combined budgets of these associations and other interesting data can be gleaned from this report:

A “community association” is defined as either a planned community, condominium or cooperative. The report estimates that just over 50% are planned communities, approximately 47% are condominiums and 2-3% are cooperatives.

The CAI report estimates that there were 328,500 community associations in the United States with 26.3 million dwellings and 65.7 million members. This equates to almost 25% of all residential dwellings in the United States are within community associations.

According to the report, Florida has the most community associations with an estimated 46,000 associations. Additionally, Alaska, Arkansas, Mississippi, North and South Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming have fewer than 1,000 community associations each.
