The local figures answer the first question: Layton, UT's current ACS housing baseline includes 29,155 total housing units, 27,779 occupied units, and 1,376 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 1,376 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 29,155 total units with 27,779 occupied and 1,376 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Layton, UT increased from 921 in the prior ACS period to 1,376 in the current release, a reported movement of 49.4%. In the current housing stock, 1,376 units equal 4.7% of the 29,155 total. ACS vacancy covers several statuses, so the 4.7% share cannot be read as the share of homes a buyer can purchase today or the share of rentals immediately available. The movement from 921 to 1,376 can nevertheless prompt better questions about current for-sale and rental inventory in Layton, UT, provided those questions are answered with timely listing and property data instead of the survey count alone.
