The local figures answer the first question: Louisville, KY's current ACS housing baseline includes 289,095 total housing units, 264,505 occupied units, and 24,590 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 24,590 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 289,095 total units with 264,505 occupied and 24,590 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Louisville, KY decreased from 28,697 in the prior ACS period to 24,590 in the current release, a reported movement of 14.3%. In the current housing stock, 24,590 units equal 8.5% of the 289,095 total.
