Richard Cieplechowicz compiled a free Tampa Bay vacancy study from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2020-2024 five-year estimates.
It covers 132 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties. For the housing units that are estimated to be vacant, it breaks them into categories such as for rent and seasonal, recreational or occasional use, and it shows the uncertainty on each estimate.
Why it matters for landlords and renters: a vacant unit is not always a unit for rent. In some areas a large share of vacancy is seasonal use, which tells you something different from a high for-rent count. Read the categories before you draw a conclusion about a neighborhood.
The limits are real. These are survey estimates for a five-year period. They are not current listings, rent quotes or a forecast, and a ZCTA is a Census area, not a USPS delivery ZIP.
