Popped soffits
If there's a lot of this around the house, does this indicate that the former owner just didn't take care of the house, or is there a structural problem with roof that could be causing this?
Also, I guess the main risk of having this condition is moisture intrusion?
Thanks.
The panels might have been cut too short.
They provide airflow, so the opening is adequate for airflow if it previously was sufficiently sized. They also keep critters and insects out.
Main risk isn't water getting in, it's critters.
thanks
From that picture, I'd have to agree with Steve. Looks like poor craftsmanship. That soffit stuff is cheap to replace though, as long as the wood the chanels are nailed into are in good shape.
Steve is probably right on...
Another possibility is that the fascia board has bowed outward for some reason...though I can't imagine this is indicative of any structural issues.
Budget $100 to replace the bad soffits...
Is that metal fascia board? Is that a mobile home?

It is metal, but the house is concrete block construction.
