Mobile homes, also known as manufactured homes, continue to be a vital part of the American housing landscape — especially in regions with affordable land, warm climates, and flexible zoning laws.
These homes are factory-built and transported to their final location, offering a low-cost, efficient, and increasingly modern alternative to traditional housing.
According to 2019–2023 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, an interactive map now highlights the percent of housing units that are mobile homes in every U.S. county.
The map clearly shows that the Southeast, Southwest, and parts of the Midwest are leading in mobile home density.
Some counties have more than half of all housing units classified as mobile homes.

These areas are typically rural or semi-rural, where lower land prices and flexible building regulations support widespread use of manufactured housing.
Florida in particular leads the trend, due to its popularity among retirees and seasonal residents.
Urban, high-density areas report extremely low mobile home usage — often less than 0.1% of the housing stock.
