How many home inspectors are there in the USA?

Hi gmaven,

There are numerous directories for one to search for home inspectors
in the USA. Many are vague, many are brief. Having the advantage of a
brother who is a home inspector in Louisiana, I was not satisfied with
any of these directories until I found him listed. I then knew that
the site I used my research on was detailed enough to establish the
number of home inspectors in the USA.

Following is the break-down of the number of inspectors by state.
