The published evidence provides the starting point: Madison, WI's current ACS housing baseline includes 133,530 total housing units, 128,261 occupied units, and 5,269 vacant units. 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 5,269 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 133,530 total units with 128,261 occupied and 5,269 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Madison, WI increased from 4,913 in the prior ACS period to 5,269 in the current release, a reported movement of 7.2%. In the current housing stock, 5,269 units equal 3.9% of the 133,530 total.
