Reading the Dunedin data for roofing

Whose roof is it? Dunedin homes by building type
With 44%[4] of Dunedin's homes attached or in multi-unit buildings (multi-unit buildings alone: 36%, the 5th-highest multi-unit share of the 14 Tampa Bay–area suburbs we cover), many roofs here are shared: in a townhouse, condo or apartment, ask your HOA, association or landlord who handles the roof before you hire anyone.
After detached houses, the biggest group is mobile home: 2,341 of 21,305 housing units[4].
Dunedin's 2,341 mobile homes (11.0%) need a roofer who works on manufactured-home roofs; mention it when you request help.
