Nearly 15% of Local Homes Are Factory-Built
Researchers uncovered a striking concentration of manufactured housing in Sunrise Manor, located in the northeastern Las Vegas Valley just south of Nellis Air Force Base. The area recorded 9,952 manufactured units out of 70,198 total homes by the end of 2024, equating to 14.2 percent of its inventory.[1][2] This metric not only secured its national ranking but also placed it tenth overall for the sheer volume of such dwellings.
Manufactured homes, often known as prefabricated structures built in factories and placed on permanent sites, offer a distinct alternative to traditional construction. The StorageCafe analysis drew from 2024 U.S. Census American Community Survey data to highlight these patterns. Such prevalence underscores Sunrise Manor’s role in providing accessible shelter amid regional expansion.
