The local figures answer the first question: East Orange, NJ's current ACS housing baseline includes 29,921 total housing units, 28,328 occupied units, and 1,593 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can 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 1,593 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 29,921 total units with 28,328 occupied and 1,593 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in East Orange, NJ decreased from 4,154 in the prior ACS period to 1,593 in the current release, a reported movement of 61.7%. In the current housing stock, 1,593 units equal 5.3% of the 29,921 total.
