Rate of empty houses to the total number of houses from the House and Land Statistics Survey. Although second homes were calculated as empty houses in the survey, they have been excluded in this ranking.

The national average rate of empty houses is 12.43%, meaning that there is approximately 1 empty house in every 8 houses. The rate of empty houses is highest in Wakayama, with 16.48%. Yamanashi is ranked second. Because there are many second homes in Wakayama and Yamanashi, second homes for sale may possibly be raising the rate of empty houses. However, the rate of empty houses is low in Shizuoka where there similarly are many second homes, indicating that second homes may not be the only factor.

Regionally, the rate of empty houses is high in the Chugoku region, Shikoku and Kyushu. There are no correlative rankings in particular, and there is no evident reason for the time being.
