Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
CNN Money’s mostly right on this report, per other sources, and there is enough correct where the report is worth sharing. The issue is CNN making the claim overly broad, about rural areas losing population. Some areas are, others are not.
For example, Pew Research said about a year ago that there is a move toward more rural areas, so there is at least a dispute on that issue.
That some communities are losing population is not in dispute.
What is certain is that there are rural towns and counties that pay you to move there, or give other incentives. This might be useful information to marketers of manufactured and modular homes.
According to Brookings, the “US population disperses to suburbs, exurbs, rural areas, and “middle of the country” metros, per William H. Frey on Monday, March 26, 2018.”
So CNN could be wrong overall on the move away from rural areas, but that these towns, counties or even a state are giving people incentives, that’s a fact at this time.
