Start with the dated local finding: West New York, NJ's current ACS housing baseline includes 21,736 total housing units, 20,453 occupied units, and 1,283 vacant units. In practical terms, those counts can 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 1,283 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 21,736 total units with 20,453 occupied and 1,283 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

West New York, NJ's ACS median gross rent is $1,716, while renter-occupied units account for 77.0% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 23.0%.
