Manufactured Housing Shipments

The number of new manufactured homes shipped from factories — a key industry demand indicator.

Manufactured housing shipments — the count of new homes shipped from factories per month or year — is the leading indicator of industry demand. The US Census Bureau publishes monthly shipment data; MHI publishes a more detailed annual report broken out by state, single-section vs multi-section, and pricing. For mobile home park operators, rising shipment numbers signal stronger infill demand and more dealer inventory available; falling shipments signal tighter inventory and longer infill cycles.
