Manufactured Homes: The Market Facts
2002 Report
The Market Facts is a publication of the Foremost Insurance Group. It presents the 2002 results of a study we do every three years of owners and residents of manufactured homes throughout the United States.
Knowing the market
In 1952 Foremost created the first policy designed specifically to cover mobile homes. We’ve been leading the industry ever since - and it’s because of initiatives such as The Market Facts. We know our market. We know who our customers are, what kind of homes they have, what’s important to them and how to reach them. With this publication, we’re sharing that information with you.
For instance, did you know:
- Sixty-three percent
of owners of manufactured homes who responded to the survey work full-time
or part-time, and 30 percent
are retired.
- Over half of households
surveyed have a home personal computer.
- Forty percent have
actually purchased something over the Internet.
- Nearly fifty percent have their homes on their own private property.
This is just a brief sampling of the kind of information you’ll find in this report. You can also find more information by taking the links below. We bet there’s information in here that contradicts some of what you thought you knew about manufactured homes!
State-specific reports are available
As in past years, we also offer individual state-specific reports on the manufactured housing market. If you’re interested in one of those reports, please review and print our order sheet. If you have any questions about our research please contact Joe Kaffenberger at (616) 956-2514.
