It should be noted that the percentage of 1-person renteroccupiedhousing within Pitt County as a whole (37.7%) is significantly influenced by thepresence of college-age students.Planning ImplicationOwner-occupied and renter-occupied housing needs are relatively consistent across theCounty. However, the demand for low and moderate-income renter-occupied housingwithin the unincorporated areas is much more likely to be met by manufactured homeunits than by multi-family development.There is a need for land use regulations that permit a variety of housing structure types.Permitting both site-built and manufactured homes can promote home ownership,which is a key component to building wealth in low wealth areas.2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Appendix A: Inventory and AnalysisPitt County, North Carolina A-44
