Measurement note: this page combines several official datasets whose universes are not interchangeable. Existing stock, occupied stock, new-home shipments, residential placements and sales prices are labeled separately throughout, and none of them should be added together.

How many manufactured homes are in the United States?

The 2020–2024 American Community Survey estimated 8,042,724 U.S. housing units in its “mobile home” structure category, out of 143,775,355 housing units nationally — 5.59%, with a 90% margin of error of ±48,445 on the mobile-home estimate. The 2023 American Housing Survey separately estimated 7.160 million occupied housing units in its “manufactured/mobile home or trailer” category, or 5.37% of occupied housing; the two figures differ in survey, category label and universe, not only in whether vacant units are included.

The national ACS estimate

A five-year ACS estimate is not a snapshot of a single day. The 2020–2024 release represents data collected across sixty months and should be labeled as a period estimate, not as an inventory dated December 31, 2024.

For scale only, the 102,738 new manufactured homes shipped in 2025 equal 1.28% of the ACS mobile-home estimate. That ratio crosses two different statistical universes and is not a replacement rate, turnover rate or net-stock measure.

Why this page does not publish a resident count

The cited ACS and AHS summary tables count housing units, not people. A current national resident estimate would require a documented person-level microdata calculation and a definition aligned with the housing-stock category; this release does not publish a resident count because that calculation was not part of the verified dataset.

Which states have the most manufactured housing?

Manufactured housing is not evenly distributed. Florida leads the 2020–2024 ACS state estimates by count at 825,085 units, while New Mexico leads by share at 15.55% of its housing stock. Count and share answer different questions: California ranks fourth by estimated count and thirty-fifth by share.

States with the largest estimated counts

States with the highest share of housing stock

South Carolina is the only state ranked sixth or better in both tables: sixth by count and third by share. The complete 51-row release preserves each estimate, published 90% margin of error, denominator, derived share, rank, source field and verification date.

What do “mobile home” and “manufactured home” mean in federal data?

The two terms are not interchangeable in the federal sources used here. HUD defines a manufactured home by construction standard: a structure built on a permanent chassis to the federal construction and safety standards, carrying a certification label, and manufactured on or after June 15, 1976. The ACS category is named “mobile home” and is defined by structure type rather than by build standard or production date.

The ACS counts occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been added. Its “mobile home” category treats towable recreational vehicles such as travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers as mobile homes; under the ACS housing-unit rules, recreational vehicles enter the housing inventory only when occupied as someone’s current residence. Units used only for business or extra sleeping space and mobile homes on dealer lots, at factories or in storage are excluded, while mobile homes with permanent rooms added are classified as one-unit detached structures.

The practical consequences:

• Correct: “The ACS classified an estimated 8,042,724 housing units as mobile homes.”
• Not correct: “There are exactly 8,042,724 HUD-code manufactured homes in the United States.”
• The ACS category can include pre-1976 mobile homes and can exclude HUD-code homes reclassified after permanent room additions.

Four measures that must never be combined

The Manufactured Housing Survey covers new manufactured homes only. It publishes no resale, repossession or household-demographic statistics and excludes modular homes, which are built to state and local codes rather than the HUD Code.

How was this manufactured housing dataset compiled and checked?

Every consequential figure on this page was read from an official primary source or calculated reproducibly from official source estimates. The methodology keeps each survey universe separate, carries the reference period with every figure, and labels calculations rather than presenting them as measurements.

What was collected and when

On July 25, 2026 we collected and checked:

• American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates, table B25024 for the United States, all 50 states and the District of Columbia, all 46 South Carolina counties, the Myrtle Beach–Conway–North Myrtle Beach metro area, and Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach and Conway places.
• South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office county records for the 2015–2019 and 2017–2021 ACS periods, published by the state Census Data Center from ACS table DP04.
• Census Bureau / HUD Manufactured Housing Survey annual tables released in June 2026 for sales price, floor area, selected characteristics, shipments, placements and shipments by state.
• Census Bureau / HUD MHS latest monthly tables released in July 2026 for 2026 shipments and monthly price estimates.
• The MHS questionnaire and methodology, which establish the price inclusions, land and tax exclusions, reference period and four-month dealer-contact schedule.
• The 2023 American Housing Survey Table Specifications and PUF Estimates for User Verification, used directly for occupied-unit and foundation estimates.
• 24 CFR §3280.305 and §3285.405 from the electronic Code of Federal Regulations for wind-zone design requirements and South Carolina’s Wind Zone II county list.
• National Weather Service mobile/manufactured-home safety material for the tornado-fatality and relative-risk statements.
• HUD Office of Manufactured Housing Programs material for the federal manufactured-home definition and certification framework.

How the shipment series was checked

We independently rebuilt the 2014–2025 annual shipment series by summing the Census Bureau’s monthly not-seasonally-adjusted estimates and comparing those sums with the published annual totals. The reconstruction matched every year within 0.31%, consistent with monthly values published to the nearest hundred units; the largest absolute difference was 290 units in 2020 and the smallest was 15 units in 2019.

How the South Carolina comparison was calculated

The current state estimate, 347,409, was subtracted from the state-published 2015–2019 estimate, 371,360, producing a difference of −23,951 units, or −6.45%. The 22,948 shipment total is the separate sum of MHS shipments to South Carolina during calendar years 2018 through 2022. No removal count is derived from those figures.

Rounding, ranking and precision rules

Percentages in ACS tables are shown to two decimals where the inputs support it. Percentages calculated from MHS estimates published in thousands are shown to one decimal and labeled approximate. Full precision is preserved in the downloadable files. State and county ranks use all 50 states plus the District of Columbia or all 46 South Carolina counties; Puerto Rico is not included in those rankings.

Verification marks

Every row in the downloadable datasets carries a verification field. ★ means read directly against an official source table, workbook, regulation or questionnaire, or calculated reproducibly from verified source estimates. Version 1.0.1 contains no unverified records.

What does a new manufactured home cost?

The average sales price of a new manufactured home was $127,200 in 2025, and $134,800 in February 2026, the most recent price month published in the July 2026 release. Those figures include options and dealer setup costs and exclude land and all taxes. Any accurate quotation of an MHS price should carry both its period and its exclusions.

2025 annual averages

The latest monthly price figures

The price series runs behind the shipment series because dealers receive the survey form four months after a sampled unit is shipped. The latest shipment month and latest price month should therefore be stated separately.

The price and floor-area trend, 2014–2025

The average price rose 94.8% between 2014 and 2025 while average floor area increased by 33 square feet. The largest annual price increases in this series were 24.3% in 2021 and 17.8% in 2022; the published 2022–2025 annual averages remained within a $4,000 range.

Which official price figure answers which question?

How does the 2024 cost-per-square-foot comparison work?

What does the published MHS price exclude?

The MHS questionnaire directly establishes two exclusions: land and all taxes. It directs respondents to include options and dealer setup costs; the published tables do not separately identify site preparation, utility connections, permits, transportation, foundations or other project components, so the figure should be quoted as the reported home price rather than the cost of a completed site.

How many new manufactured homes are shipped each year?

Manufacturers shipped 102,738 new manufactured homes in 2025, 59.7% more than in 2014 and 9.0% fewer than the 2014–2025 series high in 2022. Shipments count new homes leaving manufacturers; they do not count existing stock, final household sales or completed residential placements.

Annual U.S. shipments and residential placements

Placements rose in nine of the eleven year-to-year changes shown and reached 70,700 in 2025. Shipments and placements move independently because a unit can be shipped in one period and placed in another, and not every shipped unit becomes a residential placement.

What does the verified 2014–2025 shipment trend show?

Shipments increased from 64,331 in 2014 to 102,738 in 2025, a gain of 59.7%. The highest published total inside this verified twelve-year window was 112,882 in 2022; the 2025 total was 9.0% lower. This section deliberately stays inside the years reproduced in the downloadable annual file.

What are the current 2026 shipment indicators?

January–May 2026 shipments were 8.0% below the 45,000 shipments reported for the same five months of 2025.

Where do new manufactured homes go, and how are they titled?

Of the estimated 70,700 new manufactured homes placed for residential use in 2025, approximately 62.4% were outside manufactured-home communities and 72.0% were titled as personal property. Location and title are separate survey characteristics: placement on private property does not establish real-estate title.

How has real-estate title changed since 2014?

The published MHS point estimates show the real-estate-title share among new residential placements rising from approximately 13.2% in 2014 to 20.5% in 2023 and 22.1% in 2025. Those shares are calculated from annual estimates published in thousands. The 2025 data also show why siting and title must not be merged: 61.8% of placements were on other private property, while 22.1% were titled as real estate — different survey questions and different legal or physical characteristics.

What does the 2023 American Housing Survey show about occupied manufactured housing?

The 2023 American Housing Survey estimated 7.160 million occupied units in its “manufactured/mobile home or trailer” category, with a 90% margin of error of ±370,000. That equals 5.37% of the AHS estimate of 133.231 million occupied housing units and is a different measure from the ACS occupied-and-vacant stock estimate.

What foundation types did the 2023 AHS report?

Download the direct AHS summary CSV.

What do the federal sources show about manufactured-home residents?

The primary summary tables used on this page do not publish a current national resident count. The ACS and AHS rows above count housing units, while the MHS measures new-home production, placement, price and physical characteristics rather than household demographics.

How dangerous are manufactured homes in high wind?

The National Weather Service reports that 72% of tornado fatalities occur in homes and that 54% of those housing fatalities occur in mobile/manufactured homes. Its safety material cites research finding that residents are 15 to 20 times more likely to be killed than residents of a permanent home and states that mobile and manufactured homes are not safe tornado shelters. NOAA and FEMA guidance directs residents to move to a safer structure before severe weather arrives rather than remain in the home.

The NWS also states that EF-1 tornadoes and high-end severe-thunderstorm winds can completely destroy mobile and manufactured homes and identifies anchor-system failures as the primary cause of most fatalities in the agency’s mobile-home safety guidance.

What is the federal wind-zone framework?

The home’s data plate identifies its wind and roof-load zones or higher design loads. Under 24 CFR §3285.405, when any part of a home is installed within 1,500 feet of a coastline in Wind Zone II or III, the home must meet the increased requirements specified on its data plate. These are construction and installation design requirements, not a condition report or safety guarantee for an individual home.

What do the data show for South Carolina and Horry County?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimated 347,409 mobile-home-category units in South Carolina, 14.22% of the state’s housing stock — sixth by count and third by share among the 50 states and District of Columbia. Horry County had the largest county estimate at 28,038 units, while the nine counties in federal Wind Zone II together accounted for 92,162 estimated units.

South Carolina also provides a useful source-separated comparison: its current ACS point estimate is lower than the non-overlapping 2015–2019 estimate, while the MHS separately recorded thousands of new shipments to the state. The two series document a divergence but do not measure how many homes left the housing stock.

Where does South Carolina rank nationally?

What is the South Carolina stock-and-shipment divergence?

The Census Bureau advises comparing non-overlapping ACS 5-year estimates when measuring change. Between the non-overlapping 2015–2019 and 2020–2024 periods, the published South Carolina point estimate was 23,951 units lower, a difference of 6.45%.

The shipment total is not an addition to the ACS estimate. Version 1.0.1 therefore reports the two observed series without turning their difference into a removal estimate.

What does the current 2020–2024 county table show?

The current county compilation covers all 46 South Carolina counties with the published estimate and 90% margin of error, derived housing-stock share, count rank, share rank and HUD wind zone. Horry leads by count; Williamsburg leads by share at 39.46%.

The five county leaders by count are Horry (28,038), Lexington (21,972), Spartanburg (17,548), Greenville (17,424), Aiken (14,662). The five leaders by share are Williamsburg (39.46%), Chesterfield (37.54%), Dillon (36.77%), Colleton (35.84%), Hampton (34.68%).

What do the historical county snapshots show?

The state-published 2015–2019 and 2017–2021 county records are retained because they form a complete, reconciled historical series. The periods overlap in 2017–2019, so the arithmetic difference columns are descriptive only and must not be cited as measured county change.

How many South Carolina mobile homes are in HUD Wind Zone II?

HUD’s Wind Zone II list names nine South Carolina counties: Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Horry, Jasper and Williamsburg. Joining that current federal list to the 2020–2024 ACS county estimates produces a sum of 92,162 units, or 26.5% of the statewide estimate; no combined margin of error is stated.

How many mobile homes are in Horry County and the Myrtle Beach area?

The city estimates carry large margins of error relative to their point estimates. Conway’s estimate of 76 has a 90% margin of error of ±66; the Horry County estimate of 28,038 with a margin of error of ±1,405 is the stronger local statistic.

Why are these manufactured housing statistics changing?

Four measured shifts appear in the verified federal series: prices nearly doubled from 2014 to 2025, shipments rose over the same window but remained below their 2022 high, multi-section homes made up most 2025 placements, and the real-estate-title share increased. The South Carolina stock estimate moved in the opposite direction from the shipment flow, but the sources do not assign a single cause or publish a direct removal count.

• Prices changed faster than size. The average new-home price rose 94.8% from 2014 to 2025 while average floor area increased from 1,438 to 1,471 square feet.
• Production recovered within the verified window but did not return to its 2022 high. Shipments rose 59.7% from 2014 to 2025, while the 2025 total was 9.0% below 2022.
• The mix of new placements shifted toward multi-section homes and real-estate title. Multi-section units represented 59.7% of 2025 residential placements, and the real-estate-title share rose from approximately 13.2% in 2014 to 22.1% in 2025.
• South Carolina’s stock and shipment series diverged. The 2020–2024 ACS point estimate was 6.45% below the non-overlapping 2015–2019 estimate, while the MHS separately recorded 22,948 shipments during 2018–2022. That divergence is measurable; a removal total is not.

What are the limitations of these manufactured housing statistics?

This page is deliberately narrower than the universe of manufactured-housing claims published online. The limitations below define exactly what the verified data can and cannot support.

1. ACS table B25024 is not a HUD-code inventory. Its “mobile home” category is defined by structure type, can include pre-1976 units and towable recreational vehicles occupied as someone’s current residence, and classifies mobile homes with permanent rooms added as one-unit detached structures.
2. Five-year ACS estimates describe a collection period, not a date. The 2020–2024 release is a sixty-month period estimate, not a December 2024 snapshot.
3. ACS estimates carry sampling error. Published 90% margins of error are preserved; this release does not calculate ratio margins of error or a combined margin of error for county sums.
4. The ACS and AHS national figures are not interchangeable. They use different surveys, category labels and universes; the AHS figure covers occupied units only.
5. Overlapping ACS periods are not a change measurement. The 2015–2019 and 2017–2021 historical county columns share three years of data and are retained only as official snapshots.
6. The South Carolina stock-and-shipment comparison is not a removal count. The stock estimates and shipment flow answer different questions and cannot measure demolitions, destruction, relocation, conversion, reclassification or net additions.
7. The Manufactured Housing Survey covers new homes only. It publishes no resale, repossession or household-demographic statistics and excludes modular homes.
8. Shipments, placements and sales are different measures. They come from different collection processes and should not be summed or treated as synchronized events.
9. MHS prices exclude land and taxes. They are reported home prices, not the cost of a finished site.
10. Placement, title and foundation percentages calculated from MHS are approximate. Their source estimates are published in thousands.
11. Place-level ACS estimates can have large margins of error. The Conway estimate is the clearest local example.
12. AHS summary values count housing units, not residents. This release does not publish a national resident count or household-demographic cross-tab without a reproduced microdata calculation.
13. Wind-zone designations are not condition or safety ratings. They identify design requirements tied to intended installation location and do not establish the current anchoring, maintenance or structural condition of an individual home.
14. This release does not publish a current national manufactured-home-community count, national average lot rent, commercial market-size or growth-rate estimate, count of pre-1976 units still standing, or national annual count of homes removed from the stock. Those figures were not reconstructed from a current primary source with a definition consistent with this page.

Where can the manufactured housing dataset be downloaded?

These answers repeat the page’s most commonly needed figures with their statistical universe attached.

How many manufactured homes are in the United States?

The 2020–2024 American Community Survey estimated 8,042,724 housing units in its “mobile home” structure category, or 5.59% of all U.S. housing units. That category is defined by structure type rather than by HUD build standard, so it is not an exact count of homes built to the HUD Code after June 15, 1976. The 2023 American Housing Survey separately estimated 7.160 million occupied units in its “manufactured/mobile home or trailer” category.

What percentage of U.S. housing is manufactured housing?

The 2020–2024 ACS mobile-home category represents 5.59% of all occupied and vacant U.S. housing units. The 2023 AHS estimate for occupied manufactured/mobile homes or trailers represents 5.37% of occupied housing units; the two percentages use different surveys, category labels, and universes.

Which state has the most mobile homes?

Florida, with an estimated 825,085 units in the 2020–2024 ACS mobile-home category. Texas is second at 778,362 and North Carolina third at 537,028.

Which state has the highest share of mobile homes?

New Mexico, where the ACS mobile-home category represents 15.55% of the housing stock, followed by Mississippi at 14.40% and South Carolina at 14.22%.

How much did a new manufactured home cost in 2025?

The average sales price was $127,200: $85,600 for a single-section home and $157,100 for a double-section home. The MHS price includes options and dealer setup costs and excludes land and all taxes.

Does the average manufactured-home price include land?

No. The Census Bureau’s Manufactured Housing Survey questionnaire instructs dealers to include options and setup costs in the reported price and to exclude all taxes and land costs. The figure is therefore the reported home price, not the total cost of a completed site.

How many new manufactured homes were shipped in 2025?

Manufacturers shipped 102,738 new manufactured homes in 2025, compared with 103,314 in 2024. Preliminary shipments totaled 41,400 from January through May 2026, 8.0% below the same five months of 2025.

Are shipments, placements, and sales the same thing?

No. Shipments count new homes leaving manufacturers; placements estimate new homes sold and placed for residential use; sales-price estimates cover new homes sold or intended for sale. A home can be shipped in one period and placed in another, and not every shipment becomes a residential placement.

What is the difference between a mobile home and a manufactured home?

HUD uses “manufactured home” for a home built on a permanent chassis to the federal construction and safety standards and manufactured on or after June 15, 1976. The ACS uses “mobile home” as a structure category that can include pre-1976 units and towable recreational vehicles occupied as someone’s current residence, while mobile homes with permanent rooms added are classified as one-unit detached structures.

What percentage of new manufactured homes are titled as personal property?

Approximately 72.0% of new manufactured homes placed for residential use in 2025 were titled as personal property; approximately 22.1% were titled as real estate and 5.9% were registered or licensed but not titled. These percentages apply to 2025 new residential placements, not to the entire existing stock.

How dangerous is a mobile or manufactured home in a tornado?

The National Weather Service reports that 54% of tornado fatalities occurring in housing occur in mobile/manufactured homes and cites research finding that residents are 15 to 20 times more likely to be killed than residents of a permanent home. NOAA and FEMA guidance says a mobile or manufactured home is not a safe tornado shelter and directs residents to move to a safer structure before severe weather arrives.

How many mobile homes are in South Carolina?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimated 347,409 units in South Carolina’s mobile-home category, or 14.22% of the state’s housing units. South Carolina ranked sixth by estimated count and third by share among the 50 states and District of Columbia.

How many mobile homes are in Horry County?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimated 28,038 units in Horry County’s mobile-home category, or 12.90% of county housing units, with a 90% margin of error of ±1,405. It was the largest county estimate in South Carolina.

How many people live in manufactured housing?

This page does not publish a current national resident count. The cited ACS and AHS summary tables count housing units, while a resident estimate requires a documented person-level microdata calculation and a definition consistent with the housing-stock measure.

Is the number of manufactured homes growing or shrinking?

The federal series on this page do not provide one national net-stock change measure. New-home shipments rose 59.7% from 2014 to 2025, while South Carolina’s published ACS mobile-home estimate was 23,951 units lower in 2020–2024 than in the non-overlapping 2015–2019 period; those shipment and stock series cannot be combined into a removal count.
