What this measures

Every row is a published housing vacancy rate percent observation measured in %, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
