This is a 2 percent increase from 2017 and represents a 13 percent increase compared to the number of U.S. architects seen a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conducted annually by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) (opens in a new tab)\">National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB)<\/a>, the survey provides insight into data from the architectural licensing boards of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as the Northern Mariana Islands, which rejoined NCARB in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase in the number of architects is even more apparent when compared to the U.S. population. While the number of architects licensed in the U.S. has risen over 13 percent in the last decade, the total U.S. population has risen just 7 percent, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s data suggests that the profession is healthy and growing and that NCARB\u2019s services are just as important now as they were when our organization was founded 100 years ago,\u201d says NCARB CEO Michael J. Armstrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional data from the upcoming 2019 NCARB by the Numbers regarding NCARB\u2019s 100 years of history reflects the increased demand for the organization\u2019s services. There are now over 115,000 individuals who hold an active NCARB Record, including nearly 41,000 candidates pursuing architectural licensure; a 1 percent increase in both record holders and candidates compared to 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2018 Survey of Architectural Registration Boards also reveals that there continue to be more reciprocal (out-of-state) licenses than resident licenses issued in the U.S. There were 125,475 reciprocal licenses reported in 2018, which is largely unchanged from the amount seen in 2017. The steady number of reciprocal licenses indicates the effectiveness of the mobility pathway established by NCARB and the architectural licensing boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey reflects registration data from January to December 2018. Additional data on the path to licensure will be available in the July 2019 edition of NCARB by the Numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"To learn more about NCARB\u2019s data and the Survey of Architectural Registration Boards, visit online.
