Trailer park

A trailer park is a neighborhood consisting of an area of land where mobile homes rest. The term is widely used in stereotyping poor people, as trailer homes are an affordable home owning option.

Oftentimes, trailer parks in the United States are victims of tornados not only because parks tend to be in the South and Midwest, where tornados tend to form, but because they are not secured to the ground.
