Chattanooga, TN's current ACS housing baseline includes 87,970 total housing units, 79,084 occupied units, and 8,886 vacant units. For borrower planning, those counts can 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 8,886 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 87,970 total units with 79,084 occupied and 8,886 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Chattanooga, TN's ACS median gross rent is $1,256, while renter-occupied units account for 47.6% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 52.4%. For the decision at hand, the $1,256 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
