The local figures answer the first question: Moore, OK's current ACS housing baseline includes 24,995 total housing units, 23,671 occupied units, and 1,324 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can nevertheless 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 1,324 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 24,995 total units with 23,671 occupied and 1,324 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
A grounded Moore, OK comparison starts with current listings and lease offers, then uses the ACS evidence to check whether the sample is being interpreted in the context of 24,995 total units, a vacancy share of 5.3%, and an owner share of 67.9%. For the rental budget, replace the $1,340 median with the actual lease, utilities, deposits, and expected changes. On the ownership side, keep the 67.9% share as market context while adding the selected property's price, taxes, insurance, maintenance, association obligations, loan disclosures, and cash-to-close. The resulting worksheet will not turn 32.1% or 67.9% into a recommendation, but it will keep the two paths comparable and make the remaining assumptions visible before a decision.
