Montana, the Treasure State, has some of the largest open spaces in the nation. With incredible fishing and unforgettable landscapes, the state is definitely underappreciated.
The state offers both outdoor opportunities and the benefits of downtown living, and owning a mobile home is one way to enjoy Montana. But just like a regular home, a mobile home in MT needs insurance coverage, to provide protection from events such as theft, fire, vandalism and weather-related events.
Montana Mobile Home Living Statistics
- There are over 75,000 mobile homes in MT.
- Mobile home residents make up over 23% of the state's population.
- Over 22,000 mobile home fires occur annually in the U.S. These fires result in 1,000 injuries and 500 deaths.

Mobile homes can be a wonderful choice, but they do have an increased risk for fires, theft, and crime -- which is why mobile home insurance is so crucial for MT residents.

Differences Between Mobile Homes and Modular Homes
In the insurance market, mobile homes and modular homes are considered different -- for some very important reasons. Typically, a mobile/manufactured home is built to completion within the factory, and is moved or towed to its new location. A modular home is brought to the home site in pieces, and assembled much like a traditional home, including being constructed on a foundation. With these important differences in mind, insurance companies protect these two types of homes differently. Modular homes are usually insured similarly to a traditional home. Mobile and manufactured homes, however, are usually insured much like a vehicle, as their value depriciates over time.
