Cohousing Statistics

The pattern with keeping statistics like this, is that it requires personal
contact with each group in order to gather the data, which is very time
consuming. Survey information when done, then becomes lost as the instigator
moves on with their own project or drops the idea. And within a year, the
data is again out of date as new groups go to build out.

If you find such data, or any thing else that would be of broad interest,
and want to archive in a place that hndreds of communities have access to,
send it to me and I can post it on the Intentional Communities Resources
Pages in the cohousing section.
