Great Falls, MT's current ACS housing baseline includes 28,418 total housing units, 26,379 occupied units, and 2,039 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 2,039 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 28,418 total units with 26,379 occupied and 2,039 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Great Falls, MT decreased from 2,456 in the prior ACS period to 2,039 in the current release, a reported movement of 17.0%. In the current housing stock, 2,039 units equal 7.2% of the 28,418 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 7.2% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. In practical terms, the movement from 2,456 to 2,039 can nevertheless prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Great Falls, MT, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data rather than the survey count alone.
