Rapid City, SD's current ACS housing baseline includes 35,577 total housing units, 32,368 occupied units, and 3,209 vacant units. For borrower planning, 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 3,209 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 35,577 total units with 32,368 occupied and 3,209 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
