New Brunswick, NJ's current ACS housing baseline includes 16,854 total housing units, 15,676 occupied units, and 1,178 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 1,178 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 16,854 total units with 15,676 occupied and 1,178 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
New Brunswick, NJ's ACS median gross rent is $1,814, while renter-occupied units account for 78.6% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 21.4%. For the decision at hand, the $1,814 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
