2012 Q4 Resident Survey Trends via Kingsley Associates

Approximately 76 percent of renters were satisfied with their apartments during 2012, according to Kingsley Associates' latest resident survey data. For the four quarters ending December 31, 2012, 75.7 percent of renters in multifamily communities reported "good" or "excellent" overall satisfaction. This proportion has now remained within +/- 0.3 percentage points of 76 percent for six consecutive quarters.

Stability in satisfaction comes even as apartment resident demographics—and loyalty—continue to change. Kingsley Associates' long-term trends show that renters in 2012 tended to be older and have higher incomes than at any point in the past few years. They were also somewhat less likely to live alone. And only 57.0 percent indicated they "definitely" or "probably" would renew their leases, a drop of 8.0 percentage points from the recent high observed in the middle of 2010.
