The local figures answer the first question: Norfolk, VA's current ACS housing baseline includes 103,524 total housing units, 94,965 occupied units, and 8,559 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can 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 8,559 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 103,524 total units with 94,965 occupied and 8,559 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in Norfolk, VA decreased from 9,317 in the prior ACS period to 8,559 in the current release, a reported movement of 8.1%. In the current housing stock, 8,559 units equal 8.3% of the 103,524 total.
