Auburn, WA's current ACS housing baseline includes 31,800 total housing units, 30,393 occupied units, and 1,407 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 1,407 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 31,800 total units with 30,393 occupied and 1,407 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Auburn, WA's ACS median gross rent is $1,786, while renter-occupied units account for 39.4% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 60.6%. For the decision at hand, the $1,786 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
