A recent survey on vacant land and abandoned structures in seventy cities found that 15% of a city’s land was vacant; cities in the South tended to have the most vacant land while cities in the Northeast the least; cities in the Sunbelt reported high levels of vacant land; cities with low proportions of vacant land tended to have high numbers of abandoned structures.
