Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Number of children

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

The "Number of children" thread got me to thinking I could pull
some stats out of data I have around...  Below is a summary from
http://l.cohousing.org/kids.htm  which also has a
Complete list by community

This info is from the "complete" listings of communities in the
directory at http://www.cohousing.org/directory in Nov 2016.
Note that some communities did not report some numbers.
For example only 143 of 249 reported the number of children. See table 1.
Data includes forming as well as established communities.
Directory data is reported / maintained by communitities with
varying levels of diligence. (I urge you to update yours.)
There are errors or misinterpretation of what should be reported.
For example, Jamaica Plain Cohousing reports one residence.
The 50 communities reporting 1-10 adults may be forming communities.

Table 1.
Number communities reporting:
community name     249
Current Residences 178
Adults             221
Children           143
