Malden, MA's current ACS housing baseline includes 27,876 total housing units, 26,042 occupied units, and 1,834 vacant units. For borrower planning, 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 1,834 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 27,876 total units with 26,042 occupied and 1,834 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Malden, MA increased from 1,381 in the prior ACS period to 1,834 in the current release, a reported movement of 32.8%. In the current housing stock, 1,834 units equal 6.6% of the 27,876 total.
