Because of their lower cost and the fact that they depreciate in value much more quickly than site-built homes, manufactured housing is traditionally, although certainly not always, used by lower-income people. This has led to prejudice and negative zoning restrictions, built around the stereotypical concept of a trailer park.
Modern units, especially modular homes, often belie this image and can be identical in appearance to site-built homes.
