Looking to understand housing market dynamics

    Rental Vacancy Rate is a high value data point for the work that I do.

    I've noticed that table DP04 calculates a Rental Vacancy Rate. It's not entirely clear to me how this number is being calculated. When I've calcualated the rate manually based on values from S2503, I come up with a higher rate.

    Is there a way to know the algorithm and what all of the inputs are for a given table like DP04 in this case?
