Manufactured housing varies in popularity across the U.S., but the South stands out for its affinity for manufactured homes. Fast-growing, high-population southern states like Texas and Florida rank among the top states for total manufactured home shipments. But as a share of all new single-family homes, top locations include lower-income states like Mississippi, Kentucky, and Louisiana, whose residents may be more drawn to manufactured homes as an affordable option. Alabama stands out for its high ranking in both categories. It ranks third for total manufactured housing shipments and fourth for manufactured housing as a share of all new single-family housing.
