The effect of the increasing population in mobile homes is important for the number of deaths in tornadoes nationally and may be especially serious in the future. We can make a simple model of the effect of mobile homes by using the population in mobile homes and by assuming that the average death rate in mobile homes occurred each year since 1960. Further assuming that the mobile home population will continue to increase as it has, we can estimate the number of deaths in mobile homes in the future. Taking that number and dividing it by the total U.S. population gives a death rate for the total U.S. population if all deaths outside of mobile homes were eliminated. We can compare the model death rate to the long-term trend. The mobile home rate is approaching the long-term overall trend and, in fact, will soon pass it. The raw data after 1990 could be interpreted as showing that the long-term decline has stopped and that the death rate has leveled off, although it is too early to be sure of this change. Thus, the increase in mobile home residency may have reversed the approximately 70-year-long trend of decreasing death rates in tornadoes. Only time will tell what the trend will be or if efforts to target this vulnerable population will help to reduce deaths.
