vacancy

Unfilled job slot

Vacancy is an unfilled position or unoccupied space.

A job vacancy awaits an applicant; a vacancy at a hotel means rooms are available.

The word extends to emptiness of mind or expression: He stared with vacancy in his eyes.

A vacancy rate measures how much rental property sits unoccupied in a given market.
