Data: Place-level rental vacancy rate, the share of rental homes that are vacant and for rent, with its published 90% margin of error and the estimated number of renter-occupied homes.
What it tells us: Shows how much of the rental stock sat empty and for rent across the survey years, not rents, rent growth, or any building's occupancy.
