The local figures answer the first question: Gaithersburg, MD's current ACS housing baseline includes 27,280 total housing units, 25,772 occupied units, and 1,508 vacant units. For the decision at hand, 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 1,508 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 27,280 total units with 25,772 occupied and 1,508 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Gaithersburg, MD increased from 1,423 in the prior ACS period to 1,508 in the current release, a reported movement of 6.0%. In the current housing stock, 1,508 units equal 5.5% of the 27,280 total.
