Scott Stropkai with Statistical Surveys stressed that he is neutral, “Swiss” as he put it to MHProNews yesterday when it comes to manufactured housing industry controversies. For his firm, which has been producing data for over a half-century, statistics are just that, stats.

Stropkai may never have dreamed a few months ago that information about something like “market share” – MS in the chart below – might be considered ‘controversial.’ He plainly doesn’t want to be drawn into contentious issues. Our publication respects that stance.

That’s in many ways the ideal source, one that wants neutrality. A source that ‘has no dog in the hunt.’ So, MHProNews gladly agreed to stress in this report when using his data his and his firm’s “neutrality.”

With his Swiss position clearly disclosed, here is a composite image of what Stropkai provided to MHProNews yesterday.

Compare that with what Skyline Champion recently reported in their Investor Relations package.

Or compare that to a prior Skyline-Champion data graphic, also from their investor relations package.

It may seem like a minor thing, a few percentage points. But with that preface, this new and ICYMI returning readers with this link below to a recent previous report on the same topic. It should be considered as the key and core of this report.

Why is Skyline-Champion Giving Cover to Clayton Homes? Profitably QUESTIONING Manufactured Housing Institute Leadership for Professionals & Investors

That report linked above sheds light on what a disputed data point may be more important that it initially appears to be. The right question might be this. Why would one or more publicly traded firms in manufactured housing use and/or the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) which they are members of use incorrect data, when they are periodically purchasing the same data from that same neutral source?

When Scott Stropkai with Statistical Surveys said he is “Swiss,” this is what that metaphor means. Peacefully neutral.

While Joe Stegmayer stepped down from his role as chairman, president, and CEO of Cavco Industries (CVCO) when the firm announced the SEC subpoena in November 2018, oddly perhaps, Stegmayer did not step down from his role as Chairman of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI).

Sometimes the truth is hiding in plain sight. MHI’s prior ‘executive committee’ board of directors was as shown above. 4 out of 5 of those executive committee members have been involved in federal legal inquiries and/or litigation and state inquiries.
