Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: number of cohousing communities in the U.S.?

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

Here is a summary of the http://cohousing.org/directory as of Aug 13,2014:

Completed     111
Building       22
Own Site       21
Site Optioned   6
Seeking Site   12
Forming        38
Retrofitting   11
Total active: 221 in 36 states

Other database entries:
Disbanded       2
Dormant         2
Unknown         3

Note that the above numbers are as good as the data in the database.

I think the Cohousing Directory http://directory.cohousing.org/
is one of our most useful resources.

Of course the directory is only as good as the information in it. That
information depends on people associated with each community to keep
it updated.  I urge people to check that the information about
communities they are familiar with is current and if not, take steps
to update it.  The site has links for updating information.
