Which characteristic is associated with homes in Wind Zone 1?

Homes in Wind Zone 1 are designed to withstand lower wind speeds compared to those in Wind Zone 2 and Wind Zone 3. This designation indicates that the structural requirements for buildings in Wind Zone 1 are less stringent due to the typical weather patterns in those areas, which experience milder wind conditions. Therefore, homes in Wind Zone 1 are constructed with the expectation that they will endure wind speeds associated with that specific zone, which is generally easier to meet than the more demanding requirements for homes in higher wind zones.

Knowing this helps ensure that manufactured homes are appropriately designed and constructed for the environmental conditions they will face. The other characteristics listed do not accurately reflect the requirements or limitations of homes in Wind Zone 1. For instance, installation locations are not limited to urban areas, size varies greatly based on market demands, and foundation requirements are not inherently more robust than those of homes in higher wind zones.
