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.
