How to read this section

QCEW measures employment and wages by industry, not by occupation. We weight those industry conditions using the published industry mix for this occupation. These figures describe the industries that employ this occupation; they are not direct counts of people working in the occupation or jobs currently open.

Source: BLS QCEW. This section is not part of the national 0 to 100 Job Market Health score. See the methodology.

Compare states for property, real estate, and community association managersSide-by-side published industry conditions for two or three states. There is no state-level health score; the 0 to 100 score is national.

How to read this page

The score is a national composite from 0 to 100 that weights near term hiring demand at 50 percent, the occupation's own employment fundamentals at 30 percent, and long-term outlook at 20 percent. Wages and occupation profile details are context shown alongside it, not score inputs. See the full methodology.

Median annual wage and metro employment come from BLS OEWS, which is annual. Projected annual openings and projected growth come from BLS Employment Projections and describe the published projection horizon, so they are not a count of jobs open today. Values shown as not published are suppressed by the source rather than filled in here.

AI & this occupation

How AI relates to Property, real estate, and community association managers work

Across 4 research exposure measures, Property, real estate, and community association managers is in the middle technical AI exposure band based on the mean of the available source-specific percentile ranks. Exposure describes how much of the work the studied AI capabilities could technically assist with; it is not a forecast of job loss.

Observed use of Claude for this occupation's tasks is in the higher third of occupations in the Anthropic Economic Index, a dated observed task-exposure benchmark, not conversation share or the share of workers using AI. Its observation window is not recorded in this saved release.

In the task mix derived from the March 27, 2025 Anthropic release, 57.3% followed augmentation patterns (people iterating, validating or learning with AI), based on 6 matched tasks.

JobMarketHealth has not measured an AI effect on this occupation's employment or wages, and these figures do not enter its scores; there is no clear evidence of displacement in the data shown here.

Exposure measures (kept separate)

  • GPTs are GPTs exposure (β, GPT-4 rated): 0.44 of 1, national percentile 66 (middle third)
  • Microsoft AI applicability: 0.14 of 1, national percentile 48 (middle third)
  • AIOE (Felten, Raj & Seamans): 1.22 (standardized), national percentile 83 (higher third)
  • OECD AI Capability Gap (lower gap = higher potential exposure): gap 4.1 of 23, national percentile 38 (middle third)
OECD capability gap by domain

As published by the OECD: the gap between what the occupation demands (0-5) and current AI capability in each domain. A lower gap means AI is closer to the requirement (higher potential exposure); 0 means AI already meets it or the domain is not relevant.

  • Language: gap 1.00 (demand 4.00 of 5)
  • Social interaction: gap 2.00 (demand 4.00 of 5)
  • Problem solving: gap 1.95 (demand 3.95 of 5)
  • Creativity: gap 0.00 (demand 2.20 of 5)
  • Metacognition & critical thinking: gap 1.75 (demand 3.75 of 5)
  • Knowledge, learning & memory: gap 0.65 (demand 3.65 of 5)
  • Vision: gap 0.00 (demand 2.70 of 5)
  • Manipulation: gap 0.15 (demand 2.15 of 5)
  • Robotic intelligence: gap 0.00 (demand 1.75 of 5)

National context: what businesses used generative AI for

From the Census 2025-26 BTOS AI Supplement (all industries; businesses whose employees used generative AI). Census did not measure Property, real estate, and community association managers specifically.

  • Writing or editing documents, emails, or communications: 85.4%
  • Searching for information or technical help: 49.9%
  • Interpreting, analyzing, translating, or summarizing documents: 44.6%
  • Information processing, paperwork, or filing: 34.7%

Exposure and observed usage are separate measures and neither equals job loss. Census BTOS figures are business-level surveys and are not occupation-specific. Sources: GPTs are GPTs occupation exposure; Microsoft Working with AI: AI applicability; AI Occupational Exposure (AIOE); OECD AI Exposure Measure (AI Capability Gap); Anthropic Economic Index; Census BTOS Core AI Use; Census BTOS AI Supplement 2025-26.
