The local figures answer the first question: Santa Ana, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 83,701 total housing units, 81,069 occupied units, and 2,632 vacant units. For the decision at hand, 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 2,632 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 83,701 total units with 81,069 occupied and 2,632 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Santa Ana, CA increased from 2,400 in the prior ACS period to 2,632 in the current release, a reported movement of 9.7%. In the current housing stock, 2,632 units equal 3.1% of the 83,701 total.
