Snap Surveys
Timely Surveys. Meaningful Insights.
The Foundation for Community Association Research periodically conducts targeted “Snap Surveys” of key industry groups—including community managers, board members, homeowners, and business partners—to capture perspectives on emerging trends and timely issues affecting community associations.
These short, focused surveys produce interesting, intriguing, and newsworthy findings that help community leaders, managers, and industry professionals make informed decisions. The results often serve as an early indicator of shifting challenges and opportunities within the field, providing a pulse on what matters most to communities today.
