For more than half of his life, 38-year-old Santos Sevilla has lived in Wellington Park, a neighborhood of mobile homes in Wake Forest, N.C. He moved in at age 16 with his older brother, who bought the trailer after emigrating from Hidalgo, Mexico. When Sevilla got married, his brother sold him the home, and Sevilla—who has worked in landscaping since he was a teenager—paid $300 per month to lease the land under it. Sevilla and his wife built a life together in the mobile home park, in a cozy home nestled among oak and pine trees. Their daughters, now ages four and one, play in the neatly mowed backyard with neighborhood friends.
