Vacant Housing Units in the Florence, Alabama Market Area
Housing vacancy data for the Florence, Ala., area, including the communities of Sheffield, Tuscambia, and Muscle Shoals, are given. The data are based on the area covered by the R. L. Polk City Directory and are provided separately for incorporated areas and the Polk enumeration districts for unincorporated areas. (A map is included.) The figures were gathered during August and September 1977 and are compared with data gathered during roughly the same period in 1976. Information includes number of housing units occupied by heads of households, whether these units are owned or rented, data on occupancy by size of housing structure (single - unit, multiple - unit with number of units), new construction, number of units occupied during the 1976 canvass which are now vacant, and the number of two - canvass vacancies, which are generally tied closely to deterioration and abandonment. It is found that the area as a whole had 23,358 housing units with 1,212 vacant, for a vacancy rate of 5.19 percent. Of these, 443 units, or 1.90 percent, had been vacant for two canvasses. Most of these were single - unit dwellings. The statistical breakdown pinpoints the locations of these units. The survey also finds that 217 new housing units were added to the area, a 0.93 percent increase. Most of these were single - family homes.
