Associates grossed an all-time high in average revenue in 2023, besting 2021’s record of $2.86 million by $140,000. The $3 million average reflects the booming success that Associate members across the Federation saw last year.

Other highlights from the census include:

  • Associate members account for approximately 65% of NAHB’s membership.
  • 39% of Associate members say they contribute to the development of green/sustainable homes.
  • The typical Associate member employs 12 people, which ties last year’s all-time high.

The census also detailed the businesses in which Associate members work.

The next-largest segments include professional specialties (11%), retail dealerships/distributorships (10%), financial services (8%) and wholesale dealerships/distributorships (5%).
