Start with the dated local finding: Deerfield Beach, FL's current ACS housing baseline includes 46,578 total housing units, 36,441 occupied units, and 10,137 vacant units. In practical terms, 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 10,137 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 46,578 total units with 36,441 occupied and 10,137 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Deerfield Beach, FL's ACS median gross rent is $1,774, while renter-occupied units account for 36.1% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 63.9%.
