Albuquerque, NM's current ACS housing baseline includes 258,178 total housing units, 243,733 occupied units, and 14,445 vacant units. For borrower planning, those counts can nevertheless 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 14,445 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 258,178 total units with 243,733 occupied and 14,445 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Albuquerque, NM decreased from 21,310 in the prior ACS period to 14,445 in the current release, a reported movement of 32.2%. In the current housing stock, 14,445 units equal 5.6% of the 258,178 total.
