The published evidence provides the starting point: Costa Mesa, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 44,427 total housing units, 42,292 occupied units, and 2,135 vacant units. Those counts may 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 2,135 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 44,427 total units with 42,292 occupied and 2,135 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Costa Mesa, CA was unchanged from 2,136 in the prior ACS period to 2,135 in the current release, a reported movement of 0.0%. In the current housing stock, 2,135 units equal 4.8% of the 44,427 total.
