The local figures answer the first question: DeSoto, TX's current ACS housing baseline includes 21,718 total housing units, 20,693 occupied units, and 1,025 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts may still 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 1,025 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 21,718 total units with 20,693 occupied and 1,025 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in DeSoto, TX decreased from 1,124 in the prior ACS period to 1,025 in the current release, a reported movement of 8.8%. In the current housing stock, 1,025 units equal 4.7% of the 21,718 total.
