  "term": "Manufactured/mobile homes",
  "field": "Economic statistics",
  "definition": "As collected by the American Housing Survey, a manufactured/mobile home is defined as a housing unit that was originally constructed to be towed on its own chassis (also called HUD Code homes). It may be built in one or more sections. Since the sections are attached side-by-side at the home site, the number of sections determines the size of the final home. Size, therefore, is measured as the number of sections \"wide.\" A unit composed of two sections is a double-wide; three sections is a triple-wide, etc. Single-wide units come from the factory as one section. It also may have permanent rooms attached at its present site or other structural modifications. The term does not include prefabricated buildings, modular homes, travel campers, boats, or self-propelled vehicles like motor homes. Some people use the terms trailer or manufactured housing in the same sense as mobile homes. Manufactured/mobile homes, however, are not the same as modular/panelized homes.",
