For the eleventh time in 21 years, Americans living in homeowners associations, condominiums, and housing cooperatives say they’re overwhelmingly satisfied in their communities. The March 2026 survey affirms the findings of almost identical national surveys conducted in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024. Conducted by Zogby Analytics for the Foundation for Community Association Research, the results remain remarkably consistent over time and rarely vary within the standard margin error for national, demographically representative surveys.

Homeowner Satisfaction Survey Methodology Statement
For the past 21 years, the Foundation for Community Association Research has conducted a biennial Homeowner Satisfaction Survey to gauge the experiences and opinions of residents living in community associations nationwide. Commissioned by the Foundation, Zogby Analytics has led survey across multiple editions, using consistent methodology and questions over time to benchmark results and track trends year over year.
The 2026 survey, conducted between February 26 and March 14, targeted a broad spectrum of homeowners and condominium association members. A total of 3,000 respondents participated, providing a nationally representative sample with a margin of error of +/- 1.8 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. This rigorous methodology ensures that the data is demographically reflective of the adult population residing in community associations across the U.S.
The survey results offer valuable insights into key aspects of community association living, including resident satisfaction, board engagement, governance practices, and the integration of technology. By using the same set of questions every other year, we are able to benchmark shifts in sentiment and satisfaction, providing a clear picture of how community associations impact quality of life, property values, and neighborhood dynamics over time.
