Brooks and Mueller: Mobile Home Prevalence in the USA
This digest summarizes recent research evaluating why mobile homes are prevelant in some communities but not other. Economic precarity is the most significant factor, but other influences also exist, including year-round temperatures, labor force participation, unemployment, and employment in natural resource industries.
