The local figures answer the first question: Port Orange, FL's current ACS housing baseline includes 31,598 total housing units, 28,226 occupied units, and 3,372 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can nevertheless 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 3,372 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 31,598 total units with 28,226 occupied and 3,372 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Port Orange, FL increased from 3,362 in the prior ACS period to 3,372 in the current release, a reported movement of 0.3%. In the current housing stock, 3,372 units equal 10.7% of the 31,598 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 10.7% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. The movement from 3,362 to 3,372 can nevertheless prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Port Orange, FL, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data in place of the survey count alone.
