Population Survey (CPS) sample and 

provide the only quarterly statistics on 

rental vacancy rates, and home 

ownership rates for the United States, 

the four census regions, inside vs. 

outside metropolitan areas (MSAs), the 

50 States, the District of Columbia, and 

the 75 largest MSAs. Private and public 

sector organizations use these rates 

extensively to gauge and analyze the 

housing market. 

In addition, the rental vacancy rate is 

a component of the index of leading 

economic indicators published by the 

Department of Commerce. It is used by 

the Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD), Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BEA), National 

Association of Home Builders, Federal 

Reserve Board (FRB), Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), 

Department of Treasury, and the White 

House Council of Economic Advisers 

(CEA). 

Policy analysts, program managers, 

budget analysts, and Congressional staff 

use data obtained from the remaining 

questions that do not deal specifically 

with the vacancy rate to advise the 

executive and legislative branches of 

government with respect to number and 

characteristics of units available for 

occupancy and the suitability of 

housing initiatives.

households. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United
