Start with the dated local finding: Brockton, MA's current ACS housing baseline includes 37,730 total housing units, 36,042 occupied units, and 1,688 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 1,688 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 37,730 total units with 36,042 occupied and 1,688 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Brockton, MA's ACS median gross rent is $1,641, while renter-occupied units account for 42.6% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 57.4%. The $1,641 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
