Start with the dated local finding: Council Bluffs, IA's current ACS housing baseline includes 27,616 total housing units, 26,023 occupied units, and 1,593 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 1,593 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 27,616 total units with 26,023 occupied and 1,593 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Council Bluffs, IA decreased from 2,140 in the prior ACS period to 1,593 in the current release, a reported movement of 25.6%. In the current housing stock, 1,593 units equal 5.8% of the 27,616 total.
