Notes:
(a)The
vacancy rate is calculated by dividing vacant available for
rent units that are not dilapidated by the sum of vacant
available for rent units that are not dilapidated and renter
occupied units.
(b)
Marble Hill included in the Bronx.
(c)
The New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey is a sample
survey. Since the number of vacant units available for rent
in this category is small, the samplin error of the vacancy
rate is likely to be large. Thus, interpretation of the vacancy
rate should be done with caution.
