Vacant year-round units
Vacant units intended for year- round occupancy which were offered for sale or rent. In 1960, the concept of available vacant units was used. A unit for rent or for sale was classified as available if it was in sound or deteriorating condition, but not if in dilapidated condition. In 1970, the item on housing condition was not included in the census, so the concept of available unit was not utilized.
