The published evidence provides the starting point: New York, NY's current ACS housing baseline includes 3,678,486 total housing units, 3,334,088 occupied units, and 344,398 vacant units. 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 344,398 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 3,678,486 total units with 3,334,088 occupied and 344,398 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in New York, NY increased from 327,194 in the prior ACS period to 344,398 in the current release, a reported movement of 5.3%. In the current housing stock, 344,398 units equal 9.4% of the 3,678,486 total.
