How many mobile homes are in Florida? Are there more here than in any other state?

Nancy Becker, Clearwater

In the most recent count, Florida leads the nation in the number of mobile homes also known as manufactured homes with about 850,000. Hawaii has the fewest, with about 900. But South Carolina has the highest percentage of mobile homes - more than 20 percent of the homes in the state are mobile homes. Florida's percentage is about 11 percent.
