Q2 2016 Rental Vacancy Rates by City


The US Census tracks rental vacancy rates in major metropolitan areas.  

Note the margin of error is pretty high.   On that they say:

"1. A margin of error is a measure of an estimate’s reliability. The larger the margin of error in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate. This number, when added to and subtracted from the estimate, forms the 90 percent confidence interval. "


So then I read that to mean that for Akron with a vacancy rate of 10.9 and a margin of error of 10.9 that they say they have a 90% confidence that the vacancy rate is 0 - 21.8%.      Thats kind of meaningless.   But for other markets the range is a lot more narrow.   For example Boston is 3.4% with a margin of error of +/- 1.6% so they have 90% confidence the vacancy rate is 1.8% - 5%.

Here is a big list :
