The published evidence provides the starting point: Gulfport, MS's current ACS housing baseline includes 33,837 total housing units, 29,287 occupied units, and 4,550 vacant units. Those counts may 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 4,550 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 33,837 total units with 29,287 occupied and 4,550 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Gulfport, MS decreased from 5,948 in the prior ACS period to 4,550 in the current release, a reported movement of 23.5%. In the current housing stock, 4,550 units equal 13.4% of the 33,837 total.
