The local figures answer the first question: Miami Gardens, FL's current ACS housing baseline includes 37,003 total housing units, 35,118 occupied units, and 1,885 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 1,885 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 37,003 total units with 35,118 occupied and 1,885 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Miami Gardens, FL's ACS median gross rent is $1,787, while renter-occupied units account for 35.6% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 64.4%. For borrower planning, the $1,787 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
