094 <br /> From 1980 to 1987, fully 63% of the newly occupied housing <br /> units in Eno Township were manufactured homes. During that <br /> time, only one other Township in the County had a higher <br /> proportion of new housing units that were not site built. <br /> Overall, though, site built homes form a slight majority of <br /> the housing units in the Township, accounting for 55% of the <br /> housing stock. The number of multi-family housing units are <br /> negligible, representing less than 1% of the Township's <br /> housing stock. <br /> Eno Township has followed the state and national trend of a <br /> gradual declines in the size of an average household. The <br /> average Eno Township household had 3.22 persons in 1970, a <br /> figure that dropped to 2.514 in 1980. <br /> Circulation <br /> A modified version of the North Carolina Highway Functional <br /> Classification System is used to describe the road network in <br /> Orange County. The system describes segments of the road <br /> network based on mobility and access factors. The most <br /> important roads, Interstates and arterial highways, provide <br /> the best level of service as measured in travel time to and <br /> from major activity centers. Roads of lesser importance, <br /> collector roads, do not provide as high a level of service, <br /> but do provide areas with access to major roads and secondary <br /> access to activity centers. Local roads provide the most <br /> limited service capacity, but, in the aggregate, provide <br /> large land areas with access to more important roads and <br /> highways. <br /> Orange County's principal east/west transportation corridor <br /> traverses the southern half of Eno Township. The corridor <br /> consists of Interstate 85, the arterial US Highway 70, the <br /> collector road Old NC10 (SR1710) and a main line of Southern <br /> Railroad. The north/south transportation network is much less <br /> pronounced with the collector Pleasant Green Road/Schley Road <br /> (SR1567/SR1548) serving as the major route. The arterial St. <br /> Mary's Road (SR1002) and the collector New Sharon Church Road <br /> (SR1538) also serve as important components of the Township <br /> circulation network, angling northeast out of Hillsborough <br /> towards Treyburn in northern Durham County. An additional <br /> arterial road, NC751, and two collectors, New Hope Church <br /> Road (SR1723) and Cole Mill Road (SR1569) feed into the <br /> Township's circulation system at the very southern and <br /> eastern periphery. <br /> The objective of any component of a transportation system, <br /> such as a street or highway, is to accommodate a specific <br /> amount of traffic while providing the operator with an <br /> acceptable level of service. A level of service 'C' is <br /> frequently used as an appropriate criterion for highway and <br /> 3.10-3 <br />
