The published evidence provides the starting point: Brookhaven, GA's current ACS housing baseline includes 27,504 total housing units, 24,271 occupied units, and 3,233 vacant units. 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 3,233 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 27,504 total units with 24,271 occupied and 3,233 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Brookhaven, GA increased from 2,149 in the prior ACS period to 3,233 in the current release, a reported movement of 50.4%. In the current housing stock, 3,233 units equal 11.8% of the 27,504 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 11.8% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. For the decision at hand, the movement from 2,149 to 3,233 may still prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Brookhaven, GA, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data in place of the survey count alone.
