The level of local authority vacancy in its housing stock will fluctuate over time, as tenancy surrender and re-letting of stock is an ongoing process. 

Data in relation to the number and location of vacant local authority units are not collated by my Department, however, statistics in relation to the social housing stock are published by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in their Annual Reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities. These reports provide a range of information in relation to social housing stock, including the level of vacancy broken down by local authority. The most recent report, relating to 2019, is available on the NOAC website at the following link: .
