Abstract: Financial professionals, academic researchers, and the national media have focused attention on the housing “crisis,” with elevated vacancy a key part of the discussion. Now that we are over two years into the crisis, it seems like a good time to return to the data on vacancy and answer some critical questions. Is vacancy still a problem? Is it rising? Are the attention to vacancy and efforts to lower it still justified? In particular, what are the trends in the Fourth District’s housing markets?
