Any building that is not being worked will lower BE. In the case of land with homes on it the job of a home is to house people just being built a house fulfills its job. If an acre of land has a building that has job spots unworked then that building becomes a little less effective. If the number of all available jobs goes below 67% one's BE will being to drop. Now having barron doesn't mean one's BE will drop. If one has 100% jobs fill then one can have up to 67% of all his or her land barren. In fact this is a tactic I used in the last war we were in. Inorder to keep from out growing our opponats I left all the land I gained through attacks unbuilt. At the end of the war about 40% of my land was barren land. My BE did not drop because I had all my jobs filled. One unit of barren land counts as if a 100% of the jobs on that acre of land are not being work so if you can keep 100% jobs fill one can have up to 67% barren land.
BE is not about the amount land built. BE is about the amount jobs filled.
