There has also been a slight increase in the number of women who are practitioners and\/or NCARB certificate holders, now standing at 36 percent (a two percent improvement from 2015).<\/p>\n<p>Racial diversity is improving at a slower rate, with respective increases of three percent meaning 42 percent of new AXP participants and 30 percent of new ARE candidates identify as nonwhite. Newly licensed architect and certificate holders remain at the same demographic balance as 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile several groups remain underrepresented within the profession, these trends point to growing diversity among licensure candidates and, eventually, future architects,\u201d said Kristine A.
