The published evidence provides the starting point: Pleasanton, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 28,975 total housing units, 27,877 occupied units, and 1,098 vacant units. Those counts may 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 1,098 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 28,975 total units with 27,877 occupied and 1,098 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
A grounded Pleasanton, CA comparison starts with current listings and lease offers, then uses the ACS evidence to check whether the sample is being interpreted in the context of 28,975 total units, a vacancy share of 3.8%, and an owner share of 67.0%. On the rental side, replace the $3,060 median with the actual lease, utilities, deposits, and expected changes. On the ownership side, keep the 67.0% share as market context while adding the selected property's price, taxes, insurance, maintenance, association obligations, loan disclosures, and cash-to-close. In practical terms, the resulting worksheet will not turn 33.0% or 67.0% into a recommendation, but it will keep the two paths comparable and make the remaining assumptions visible before a decision.
