Check the local business section of the newspaper. Ours publishes the commercial and residental vacancy rates once a month.

Here's a link to a website that has vacancy rates on it. I'm not sure how frequently those numbers are updated. Also, usually the Chamber of Commerce websites will have that type of data.

U.S. Census Data
