Rural residents in trailer parks find varied situations The denizens of U.S. rural trailer parks have heard all the snide comments about their homes -- and they have been labeled everything from “trailer trash” to “tornado mag- nets.” But beneath that ridicule lie acute needs and real concerns, according to a new study. “While mobile homes have emerged as the housing of choice among low-income rural households, many mobile home- dwellers face exor- bitant interest rates, social instability from high turnover rates in trailer park neighborhoods, stigmatization and discrimination in the community and schools, and a lack of opportunities for their children,” said Katherine A. Mac- Tavish. She is an assis- tant professor of human develop- ment and sciences at Oregon State University at Cor- vallis and lead au- thor of the study. “All these fac- tors work to com- promise how well this kind of housing works for low- income rural fami- lies and for small- town communities,” she added. Results of the research -- based on field studies in rural Oregon, Illinois, New Mexico and North Carolina -- were published in the “Georgetown Journal of Poverty Law and Policy.” The study was funded by the Na- tional Institutes of Health and the U.S. Dept. of Agricul- ture. Co-authors are Sonya Salamon of the University of Illinois and Mi- chelle Ely of North Carolina A&T State University. “The rural families that we talked to were uni- formly proud of their homes,” said MacTavish. “But they face a number of challenges, from financing those mo- bile homes to main- taining their struc- tural integrity, to dealing with social stigmatization.” In their study, the researchers found that because mobile homes are classified as per- sonal rather than “real” property, they are often fi- nanced with chattel loans that have higher interest rates -- averaging from 10 to 14 percent. Since many of the residents al- ready are in low- income brackets, they become “cost- burdened” by own- ership. As much as 50 to 60 percent of their income gets tied up in housing costs, including mortgages, lot rental and utilities. Financing mo- bile home purchases through 15- and 30- year mortgages be- comes problematic, the researchers say, because the dwellings lose approximately half their value within three years. “If the family decides to sell their home, they often receive less than the amount they still owe on their loans,” Mac- Tavish said. “By the time you factor in sudden increases in lot rental prices and high utility bills, es- pecially in winter, mobile home owner- ship can become a costly entrapment for working poor fami- lies.” Mobile home residents also face challenges in main- taining the physical and structural integ- rity of their dwell- ings, the researchers found. Most only received, at best, a one-year warranty upon purchasing their mobile homes, and low-income rural families were more likely to purchase lower-end or used models without a warranty. The researchers point to a survey by Consumers Union that found mobile home owners experi- enced a high inci- dence of plumbing problems, faulty sub- flooring, and leaking windows, doors and roofs. Other studies have found that mobile homes have twice the rate of fire deaths of all other home types com- bined, MacTavish said. Social insecurities of trailer park resi- dents -- including lack of trust, diminished sense of community, residential segregation and stigmatization -- also were identified as important issues. The researchers found that many mo- bile home park resi- dents lacked a sense of attachment to their park because they hoped to move some- place better. As a conse- quence, they often would forego estab- lishing lasting rela- tionships with neighbors -- and that lack of a local social network created a void in terms of a sense of community, as well as social and economic supports. “The isolation within a trailer park often is matched by the segregation of the park in many rural communities,” Mac- Tavish said, “because the parks are fre- quently located on the edge of town, and other residents, espe- cially those in differ- ent socioeconomic classes, rarely mix with park residents.” Townspeople frequently denigrate trailer park residents as freeloaders in the educational system, and attribute high levels of theft and deviant behavior to them -- based more on innuendo than fact -- said Salamon.
