Start with the dated local finding: Rochester, NY's current ACS housing baseline includes 104,479 total housing units, 93,261 occupied units, and 11,218 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 11,218 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 104,479 total units with 93,261 occupied and 11,218 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Rochester, NY decreased from 13,646 in the prior ACS period to 11,218 in the current release, a reported movement of 17.8%. In the current housing stock, 11,218 units equal 10.7% of the 104,479 total.
