vacancy rates
Empty unit proportions
Vacancy rates measure the proportion of unoccupied units in a given housing or commercial real estate market, expressed as a percentage: The downtown vacancy rate hit 15% after the pandemic.
Landlords, investors, and policymakers track vacancy rates to gauge market health—high rates suggest oversupply or weak demand, while low rates often signal rising rents.
The term appears in both residential and commercial contexts: office vacancy rates, apartment vacancy rates.
