Modesto, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 75,752 total housing units, 72,989 occupied units, and 2,763 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 2,763 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 75,752 total units with 72,989 occupied and 2,763 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Modesto, CA decreased from 2,889 in the prior ACS period to 2,763 in the current release, a reported movement of 4.4%. In the current housing stock, 2,763 units equal 3.6% of the 75,752 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 3.6% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. In practical terms, the movement from 2,889 to 2,763 can still prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Modesto, CA, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data instead of the survey count alone.
