Start with the dated local finding: Joliet, IL's current ACS housing baseline includes 53,814 total housing units, 51,055 occupied units, and 2,759 vacant units. In practical terms, 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 2,759 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 53,814 total units with 51,055 occupied and 2,759 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Joliet, IL decreased from 3,573 in the prior ACS period to 2,759 in the current release, a reported movement of 22.8%. In the current housing stock, 2,759 units equal 5.1% of the 53,814 total.
