Introduction

The 2011 Fairfax County Rental Housing Complex Analysis supplies data as of January 2011 on the number of rental units, vacancy rates and rental costs of Fairfax County rental housing complexes containing five or more units. Subsidized rental complexes are not included in the calculation of market rate rental costs. The inventory of rental units also includes condominium complexes where more than 90 percent of the total units are leased. These condominiums, however, are not included in the rental cost and vacancy analyses in this report. Housing units that are leased to renters by individual owners are not included in this report. The report summarizes data for the County as a whole, for planning and supervisor districts, by age of complex, type of structure, and type of unit where appropriate.
