Cedar Rapids, IA's current ACS housing baseline includes 64,423 total housing units, 59,351 occupied units, and 5,072 vacant units. For borrower planning, those counts can help a borrower establish the scale of the measured housing base before comparing tenure, rent, current listings, property condition, and financing. The figures describe stock across the survey period; they do not say that 5,072 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 64,423 total units with 59,351 occupied and 5,072 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Cedar Rapids, IA's ACS median gross rent is $967, while renter-occupied units account for 31.5% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 68.5%. For the decision at hand, the $967 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it cannot identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
