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.
