How the Rankings Are Compiled

Because the mobile home park industry includes both publicly traded REITs and private family-owned companies, lot counts are assembled from multiple sources:

• Public filings
• Community owner responses
• Market research
• Industry estimates
• News releases and lender disclosures

Some owners do not disclose their totals, so estimates serve as placeholders until new information is provided.

Why This List Changes Each Year

The mobile home park industry experiences ongoing consolidation. Companies frequently buy and sell communities, making these rankings a “living document.” Several factors drive the annual shifts:

• New acquisitions by institutional capital
• Dispositions by long-term owners
• Mergers between private firms
• Shifts in strategy, such as focusing on infill or home sales

For these reasons, industry analysts continue to update the data as operators grow or refine their portfolios.
