Abstract

Efforts to measure and map spatial variation in vulnerability have long employed manufactured and mobile homes (MH) as an indicator of vulnerability. This practice reinforces perceptions of MH as a inferior form of home. We present a novel approach to measuring social vulnerability among MH residents that seeks to internally differentiate the MH population and produce deeper insights into the complex relationship between housing type, social vulnerability, and housing insecurity. We apply logistic principal component analysis (LPCA) to census microdata from 1,094 MH households in Pima County, Arizona to identify components with variable loadings consistent with social vulnerability and housing security interpretations. Four vulnerability profiles emerge from this analysis. Profiles were corroborated using interview data from 72 MH households. The article provides new insights into within-housing-type variation in the relationship between vulnerability and housing insecurity, and (ii) the role of housing type in mediating that relationship.
