minus-squareanon6789@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 years ago Looks to be about 145 million homes. If 15 million are unoccupied, that’s a hair over 10 percent. The “Other” line of 4 million homes sounds like the ones that either aren’t in the process of being rented or sold and aren’t someone’s second home. What percentage of those homes are habitable in their current state is also something we don’t have info on.
