This article--and several of the comments--does not distinguish between "manufactured" and "modular" housing.

Both are built off-site in factories, but manufactured houses--homes built on wheeled frames and set up on piers--are built to lower standards than modular homes, which are trucked in one or more sections on flatbed trailers and installed over a basement or crawlspace.
