The local figures answer the first question: Bend, OR's current ACS housing baseline includes 47,957 total housing units, 44,436 occupied units, and 3,521 vacant units. For the decision at hand, 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 3,521 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 47,957 total units with 44,436 occupied and 3,521 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Bend, OR's ACS median gross rent is $1,883, while renter-occupied units account for 38.3% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 61.7%. For borrower planning, the $1,883 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it cannot reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
