The published evidence provides the starting point: North Charleston, SC's current ACS housing baseline includes 54,781 total housing units, 49,185 occupied units, and 5,596 vacant units. 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 5,596 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 54,781 total units with 49,185 occupied and 5,596 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

North Charleston, SC's ACS median gross rent is $1,430, while renter-occupied units account for 50.2% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 49.8%.
