Regionally, 8 out of 9 regions experienced shipment growth, with the East North Central region leading the way at a 58% year-over-year increase. The West South Central and Pacific regions also showed solid growth, rising 13.4% and 12.9%, respectively.
FEMA did not receive any shipments in December, bringing its fiscal year total to 169 homes. The manufacturing landscape remained stable, with 152 plants and 38 manufacturers nationwide—no new plants were established last month.
Manufactured housing continues to hold a strong place in the broader housing market, accounting for 8.9% of all single-family home starts in December 2024.
With sustained growth and regional expansion, the sector appears poised for continued success in 2025.
