Summary, etc. Abstract: This article examines how policy makers use rental vacancy rates as indicators of<br/>housing market condition. The common practice of assuming that any rental<br/>market is in equilibrium when its rental vacancy rate is approximately 5 percent is<br/>criticized. Based on theoretical and empirical literature, the case is made that the<br/>rental vacancy rate that prevails when the supply and demand for rental units are<br/>in balance varies among areas and types of units and is not always 5 percent. The<br/>Department of Housing and Urban Development is faulted for not recognizing<br/><br/>these variations and, therefore, misusing rental vacancy rates in its formula alloca-<br/>tions for the Section 8 and HOME programs.<br/><br/>Observed vacancy rates offer meaningful insight into rental market conditions only<br/>when they are compared with empirically derived estimates of equilibrium vacancy<br/>rates. The methods for estimating these rates, however, are still being refined, and<br/>the data needed to derive such estimates are available only for a limited set of<br/>metropolitan areas. Other measures are available that policy makers could use to<br/>judge the adequacy of low-income housing supply in local markets, but they are<br/>also somewhat problematic.
