The local figures answer the first question: Waukegan, IL's current ACS housing baseline includes 33,229 total housing units, 32,042 occupied units, and 1,187 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 1,187 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 33,229 total units with 32,042 occupied and 1,187 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Waukegan, IL's ACS median gross rent is $1,205, while renter-occupied units account for 49.8% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 50.2%.
