We’ll plan to bring you Part III of our Manufactured Housing Industry Statistical Data report here on the Daily Business News soon.  For researchers outside of the manufactured housing industry’s professional ranks, please note that there is a difference between manufactured homes and mobile homes, to learn more, see the video video interview and home tours, linked here.  There have been no new mobile homes built in the United States since June 15, 1976, to learn more, see the report linked here.

As regular readers of the Daily Business News know, The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has been providing monthly shipment data published on the Daily Business News for years. That data is organized somewhat differently, many flock to that report monthly. The July report is linked here. ##
