Methodology & data sources

Vacancy rates: Published per-sector market series, taken at the metro level where one exists and otherwise at the Census-region level — a chart reading "in <region> region" is a regional number, not this city's.
Refresh: The monthly aggregates close at the end of the previous month, so 31 August 2026 — not today — is the honest last update.
Known limitations: office vacancy is reported at Midwest region level, retail vacancy is reported at Midwest region level and industrial vacancy is reported at Midwest region level.
Coverage: Metrics below the 10-observation threshold fall back one geographic level. The geography used is named on each figure.
