An idea often held in the mainstream society in the United States is a phenomenon of common occurrence between tornadoes and mobile home residences. While such perceptions could be learned from media presentations of tornadic events, a spatial investigation into such events in the Southeastern United States presents other possibilities. A statistical analysis of correlation is used to investigate the nature of relationship of coincidence between the two variables. Counties with relatively high densities of each variable are used for a case study of common geofactors at the micro scale. Results of this research suggest that a regional correlation between the two variables is non-existent. Results of the case study suggest that, while some similarities in geofactors existent between counties with high densities of each variable, no definitive conclusion can be reached with the data used in this study. / Department of Geography
