Start with the dated local finding: Baytown, TX's current ACS housing baseline includes 34,125 total housing units, 30,964 occupied units, and 3,161 vacant units. In practical terms, those counts may 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 3,161 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 34,125 total units with 30,964 occupied and 3,161 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Baytown, TX's ACS median gross rent is $1,307, while renter-occupied units account for 47.7% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 52.3%. The $1,307 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
