The local figures answer the first question: Lauderhill, FL's current ACS housing baseline includes 30,733 total housing units, 27,320 occupied units, and 3,413 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can still 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 3,413 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 30,733 total units with 27,320 occupied and 3,413 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Lauderhill, FL decreased from 4,359 in the prior ACS period to 3,413 in the current release, a reported movement of 21.7%. In the current housing stock, 3,413 units equal 11.1% of the 30,733 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 11.1% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. The movement from 4,359 to 3,413 may still prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Lauderhill, FL, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data rather than the survey count alone.
