Re: Results of S.E Florida Parks Survey

Dear Todd:

I have completed my third survey of the South Florida mobile home parks to determine the number of vacant sites within a 50 mile radius of Coral Lake. This includes parks in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties.

My first source was an analysis of the JLT survey of 95 parks in the three counties, made in May 2004. This Survey showed:

Total SitesLeased Sites VacantPercent
Broward County13,75312,739 1,64311.9
Palm Beach County10,73510,305 4304.0%
Miami-Dade7,2026,401801 11.1%
Totals31,69029,445 2,8749.1%

A direct mail survey was made in three mailings to 500+ parks in the three counties. There were a total of 18 parks responding:

Palm Beach County1,9681,8491196.0%
Miami-Dade10999109.2%

Copies of the JLT Survey and a spread sheet showing the parks evaluluated in both surveys is shown in the attachment to this report.
