Community Management and Satisfaction Interpretation

Despite an industry proudly touting a sea of certified managers and decently quick maintenance, it appears residents are mostly content with their pools but underwhelmed by their gyms, mildly satisfied with transparency, and vastly prefer email over meetings, painting a picture of competent but transactional community management where everything works well enough, but true engagement remains a bit of a ghost town.

Legal and Compliance Interpretation

With an average lawsuit costing $25,000 and one in eight HOAs getting sued, the sobering reality of modern community management is that boards are increasingly paying for yesterday's vague rules with today's legal fees, trying to govern everything from pet policies to paint colors while racing to update documents and adopt digital tools amidst a thicket of foreclosures, liens, and compliance audits.

Market Size and Growth Interpretation

The staggering scale of the HOA industry—managing a quarter of the U.S. population, driving over $100 billion in annual revenue, and fostering property appreciation—proves that while we may chafe at their rules, we are collectively paying a premium for the privilege of being told our grass is too tall.

Membership and Demographics Interpretation

In a striking portrait of modern American life, HOAs now govern a vast, affluent, and often suburban kingdom where the promise of pristine lawns and communal control appeals most strongly to middle-aged, dual-income households building equity in relatively new developments, all while maintaining a notable demographic skew that suggests this particular version of the dream isn't for everyone.
