Where else can we find statistics on new construction activity, including shipments of new manufactured homes?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development maintains a research website called HUD-User. This website provides access to pertinent information, such as research reports and periodicals covering housing in the United States. To find information on shipments of new manufactured homes, view HUD’s quarterly periodical U.S. Housing Market Conditions (http://www.huduser.org/periodicals/ushmc.html). This periodical also contains data on housing permits, starts, completions, and homeownership rates. Additional information on manufactured homes shipments can be found on the Manufactured Housing Institute’s Web site at http://www.manufacturedhousing.org/lib/showtemp_detail.asp?id=109&cat=statistics .
