Apartment Industry’s Influence Grows with New
Economic Impact Findings
N
ew economic impact
data shows that
apartments and
their residents contribute
$1.3 trillion to the national
economy. That’s 12.3 million
jobs in construction, operations, leasing, management
and skilled trades, as well
as all the local businesses
supported by apartments
and the millions who live
there.
To announce the new
data, NAA and NMHC
launched their largest ever
pro-apartment media outreach campaign on March
10. In conjunction with the
national release, more than
40 NAA affiliated associations are telling their local
media about apartments’
impact in their cities.
The NAA/NMHC’s joing
website, WeAreApartments.
org has been revamped with
a new unique calculator,
Apartment Community Estimator (A.C.E.) that lets you
determine the economic
impact of a given number of
new or existing apartments
to any one of 40 metros or
50 states.
