San Bernardino, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 67,108 total housing units, 64,199 occupied units, and 2,909 vacant units. For borrower planning, those counts can 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 2,909 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 67,108 total units with 64,199 occupied and 2,909 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

The 4.3% vacant-unit share and 50.0% owner share cannot determine competition for a specific San Bernardino, CA listing, seller flexibility, inspection risk, appraisal results, insurance availability, or future supply. For borrower planning, likewise, 67,108 total units say nothing about how many properties fit a borrower's price, location, accessibility, unit-count, or condition requirements. The ACS period behind the 4.3% vacancy share can accurately describe the broad stock while lagging a fast-moving listing market. Borrowers therefore should keep 2,909 vacant units separate from active inventory and keep the $1,508 median separate from a current lease quote, using each figure only for the question its definition can answer.
