When added to the others costs those residents pay, which in some cases includes <br /> space rental and usually includes utilities, is approximately$787 per month. It is important to remember <br /> that very few families rent their homes: only 17%of families are bearing this higher cost. <br /> A majority of families (70%) said that rent has increased at least one or more times in the last 12 <br /> months, and on average, rent increased $44 dollars,with a maximum increase of$90 dollars.These <br /> costs are broken down below: <br /> Type of Bill Average Cost per Month Minimum Cost Maximum Cost <br /> Mobile Home Mortgage $489 $200 $850 <br /> Mobile Home Space $342 $280 $450 <br /> Water $64 $20 $200 <br /> Electricity $158 $50 $350 <br /> Other(Including internet, $192 $18 $400 <br /> cable, and cellphone) <br /> Almost all of the families preferred to own their homes in the future (95%), and almost the same <br /> number of families wanted to own their land in the future (94%).
