research-l Mailing List: Number/membership of intentional communities in the U.S. rising?

[Anna Horton (wanderer537]

Hi, all!

I'm a student and cooperative housing member doing research on why people decide to stay long-term in intentional communities.  I would really like to get people's insights on whether the intentional community movement in the U.S. is growing/whether membership is increasing or decreasing, since it's been difficult to find hard statistics.

Any and all help is appreciated! 

Thank you,

Anna Horton
