Mobile homes (not to be confused with manufactured housing) have many different advantages and disadvantages to their potential owners. A quick
Google search on "advantages and disadvantages of mobile home ownership" can
get you any number of articles on the topic. The pluses and minuses
range from their low purchase cost to their higher loan rates and quick depreciation. Clearly
they are not for everyone, but certainly they fill a need for quite a few people !
Our
region has a fair number of mobile homes present, and in some of the
towns, villages, and cities they are regulated by local ordinances.
Below you can find tables showing the number of mobile homes according
to the 2011 American Communities Survey (ACS) in each of the
municipalities in our region.
