As shown in Table V-2, 23 percent of the housing in Carroll County is composed of mobile homes. The Pipers Gap and Fancy Gap districts, the two most southwestern districts in the county, have the highest percentage of mobile homes. Overall, the number of mobiles homes has increased in the county from 2,347 in 1990 to 3,412 in 2000.

Single family, detached housing units continues to be the largest housing category in the county; although, the percentage of single family, detached units decreased by 2.6 percent during the 1990s. The remaining housing types remained statistically similar between 1990 and 2000. Other than mobile homes and single family detached units, the “other” housing unit category, which includes boats, recreational vehicles, vans, etc., witnessed the most significant statistical change during the 1990s. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of “other” housing units decreased from 155 to 5.

Table V-3 lists values for owner-occupied housing in Carroll County, the Mount Rogers Planning District, and the Commonwealth of Virginia for 1990 and 2000. The number of housing units valued at over $100,000 increased dramatically in Carroll County during the 1990s. In 1990, there were only 11 houses valued at $200,000 or higher. By 2000, the number of housing units in that value range had increased to 149. The U.S. Census Bureau reports housing unit values from sample data and not 100 percent data; therefore, the figures listed in Table V-3 do not represent the total housing data presented in other tables throughout this chapter.
