trailer park

Manufactured home site

A trailer park is a piece of land where mobile homes or trailers are parked as permanent or semi-permanent residences, typically rented by the month.

Residents own their trailers but pay for the lot space.

The term carries class connotations in American culture—trailer park trash is a slur for poor white people perceived as uneducated or unsophisticated.
