By the Numbers: US apartment vacancy rate rises, with widening urban-suburban gap<\/a><\/p>\n

The gap between rental vacancies in cities and their suburbs is widening.<\/p>\n

The vacancy rate<\/a> for urban rental units came in at 7.6 percent in the fourth quarter, compared to 6.9 percent in the suburbs, according to newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n

Those fourth-quarter rates, for both city and suburban rental units in metropolitan statistical areas \u2014 most of which are likely apartments \u2014 were higher than they were in the fourth quarter of 2024. However, the rate for city units rose at a greater clip (by 40 basis points) compared to suburban units (by 20 basis points), indicating that there could be an increasing demand for rentals outside of urban cores. Or, as has been the case in many Sun Belt cities in particular of late, cities are continuing to wrangle with an oversupply of apartments<\/a>.<\/p>\n
