Start with the dated local finding: Medford, OR's current ACS housing baseline includes 36,630 total housing units, 34,813 occupied units, and 1,817 vacant units. In practical terms, those counts can still 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 1,817 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 36,630 total units with 34,813 occupied and 1,817 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Medford, OR's ACS median gross rent is $1,376, while renter-occupied units account for 43.7% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 56.3%. The $1,376 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
