Start with the dated local finding: Nashville, TN's current ACS housing baseline includes 344,794 total housing units, 313,513 occupied units, and 31,281 vacant units. In practical terms, 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 31,281 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 344,794 total units with 313,513 occupied and 31,281 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Nashville, TN increased from 29,196 in the prior ACS period to 31,281 in the current release, a reported movement of 7.1%. In the current housing stock, 31,281 units equal 9.1% of the 344,794 total.
