When many people think of vacant homes, they think of houses or apartments on the market for sale or rent. But the largest category of vacant housing in the United States is classified as ?seasonal, recreational or occasional use,? commonly referred to as seasonal units.?
These vacant structures cover a wide range of housing units, from part-time residences and hunting cabins to beach houses and timeshares.
As the nation recovered from the 2007-2008 housing crisis, the vacancy rate decreased from 11.4% in 2010 to 9.7% in 2020, according to new 2020 Census Demographic and Housing Characteristics data.
