The local figures answer the first question: New Haven, CT's current ACS housing baseline includes 60,333 total housing units, 54,773 occupied units, and 5,560 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts may 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 5,560 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 60,333 total units with 54,773 occupied and 5,560 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
New Haven, CT's ACS median gross rent is $1,488, while renter-occupied units account for 71.6% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 28.4%. For borrower planning, the $1,488 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
