The published evidence provides the starting point: Raleigh, NC's current ACS housing baseline includes 224,853 total housing units, 203,443 occupied units, and 21,410 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 21,410 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 224,853 total units with 203,443 occupied and 21,410 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Raleigh, NC increased from 19,082 in the prior ACS period to 21,410 in the current release, a reported movement of 12.2%. In the current housing stock, 21,410 units equal 9.5% of the 224,853 total.
