Start with the dated local finding: Diamond Bar, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 18,969 total housing units, 18,005 occupied units, and 964 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 964 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 18,969 total units with 18,005 occupied and 964 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Diamond Bar, CA increased from 631 in the prior ACS period to 964 in the current release, a reported movement of 52.8%. In the current housing stock, 964 units equal 5.1% of the 18,969 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 5.1% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. For borrower planning, the movement from 631 to 964 may still prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Diamond Bar, CA, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data instead of the survey count alone.
