The local figures answer the first question: Eau Claire, WI's current ACS housing baseline includes 31,712 total housing units, 30,492 occupied units, and 1,220 vacant units. For the decision at hand, 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 1,220 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 31,712 total units with 30,492 occupied and 1,220 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Eau Claire, WI decreased from 1,568 in the prior ACS period to 1,220 in the current release, a reported movement of 22.2%. In the current housing stock, 1,220 units equal 3.8% of the 31,712 total.
