Abstract:
Mobile homes are an important source of affordable housing in North Carolina. Statistics from the 2000 United States Census indicate that manufactured homes make up 16.4 percent of living units in the state and provide homes for 1.3 million people. However, mobile home owners often do not enjoy the same rights and benefits as other homeowners. For example, site-built homes are always treated as real estate, whereas manufactured homes often are considered personal property. The difference affects how manufactured housing is sold, appraised, financed, sited, and taxed. The authors examine these differences and suggest what can be done to change the perception.

Abstract:
North Carolina is one of the top producers of manufactured homes, ranking fourth in the nation through the first three months of 1983. Approximately six percent of the state's population lives in manufactured homes, or about 350,000 people. In 1976, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards for mobile homes went into effect. This created uniform quality of construction and drove the marginal home manufactures out of business.
