Start with the dated local finding: Compton, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 25,039 total housing units, 24,011 occupied units, and 1,028 vacant units. In practical terms, 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 1,028 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 25,039 total units with 24,011 occupied and 1,028 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Compton, CA's ACS median gross rent is $1,664, while renter-occupied units account for 43.6% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 56.4%.
