Where our numbers come from

What we collect

We track every age-qualified (55+) manufactured-home community we can identify in the cities we cover: lot rent, year built, whether residents own their lots, how many homes are listed for sale, and who owns the community.

How we check rent numbers

Rents start from public listings and community disclosures, then we verify by phone, community by community. Every rent figure on this site shows the month we last checked it (currently November 2026). A rent older than six months is marked, and we re-verify on a rolling schedule.

“Estimated all-in” figures add typical utilities and fees. They are estimates, not quotes — your bill depends on your usage and the community's fee structure.

What we never do

• We never accept payment to rank, feature, or hide a community. Rankings are never for sale.
• We never sell your contact information to community salespeople.
• We never present a marketing claim as fact. If we haven't verified it, we say “call to verify.”

When we're wrong

Lot rents change. If a number here is out of date, tell us and we'll re-check that community within a week and correct the page. We date every figure so you can judge its freshness yourself.
