Start with the dated local finding: Peabody, MA's current ACS housing baseline includes 23,081 total housing units, 22,390 occupied units, and 691 vacant units. In practical terms, 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 691 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 23,081 total units with 22,390 occupied and 691 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Peabody, MA decreased from 825 in the prior ACS period to 691 in the current release, a reported movement of 16.2%. In the current housing stock, 691 units equal 3.0% of the 23,081 total.
