2013 Housing Vacancy Survey Annual Statistics
WASHINGTON , Feb. 27, 2014/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following tip
sheet was released today by the U.S. Census Bureau:
These statistics provide vacancy rates, homeownership rates and
characteristics of units available for occupancy for the U.S.,
regions, states and the 75 largest metropolitan statistical areas.
Data for all geographies are available both quarterly and annually.
Homeownership rates are also tabulated by age of householder for the
U.S. and regions and by race/ethnicity of householder and by family
status for the U.S. In addition, estimates of the total housing
inventory and percent distributions of vacant for-rent and
for-sale-only units are available for the U.S. and regions. This
information is used by public and private sector organizations to
evaluate the need for new housing programs and initiatives. The rental
vacancy rate is a component of the index of leading economic
indicators and thereby used by the government and economic forecasters
to gauge the economic climate.
