Abstract
This study used U.S. Census data to perform a comparative assessment of socio-demographic profiles between residents of mobile or manufactured homes and site-built construction. It also provides a comparison between the two types of residents for the time period 1980 to 2000 in the state of Georgia. Particularly, mobile and manufactured home residents are compared to those in single- and multifamily site-built homes. Results suggest that, increasingly, lower-income households, including Hispanic households, are living in mobile and manufactured homes as opposed to comparable single-family site-built homes. In addition, an increasing number of larger households, households headed by African Americans, and households headed by older individuals are living in mobile and manufactured homes relative to multifamily site-built homes.
