Real-time vacancy signals for agencies, investors and acquisition teams. HomeSource HQ maps estimated vacant and long-term vacant housing across all 50 states plus DC, scores districts for acquisition, and tracks portfolio-level vacancy movement.
Across the country, millions of properties sit empty while families, workers, and buyers search for housing. Long-term vacant units — homes empty for 90 days or more — drain neighborhood value, raise costs for local services, and leave opportunity on the table. HomeSource HQ aggregates public housing and property records to estimate vacant inventory, vacancy rates, and an overall opportunity index for every state and district. This public-good intelligence helps city agencies target code enforcement, investors identify redevelopment candidates, and advocates make the case for turning empty units back into homes.
Our methodology combines address-level property records, utility and mailing data, building age, and market indicators to estimate three core figures for each geography: total vacant inventory, long-term vacant units (empty for 90+ days), and the vacancy rate as a share of all housing stock. A composite opportunity index (0–100) weighs these factors alongside local demand so high-vacancy areas with strong markets rank highest for redevelopment. Data is refreshed on a continuous monthly schedule and is best used as an indicative planning tool rather than a definitive legal determination.
Search any US state, region, or district to see estimated vacant inventory, long-term vacancy, vacancy rates, and opportunity scores. Drill into county- and zip-level detail, compare neighboring markets, and identify the highest-opportunity areas for buying or redevelopment.
