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