Once you have your Number of Unit-Months and your Number of Vacant Units, calculating vacancy rate is simple. The formula is Number of Vacant Units / Number of Unit-Months = Vacancy Rate. Using our sample data, 35 / 240 = .1458 or a 14.58% vacancy rate.
There are a number of problems in calculating an accurate vacancy rate for an isolated market. Some data providers choose to publish a vacancy rate at the post code level instead of at the suburb level or even further, down to the property type level (i.e. Houses/Units). Other data providers even go down to the bedroom level! They publish a vacancy rate for one bedroom units as well as 2 and 3 bedroom units.
