Start with the dated local finding: Orange, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 46,952 total housing units, 45,329 occupied units, and 1,623 vacant units. In practical terms, those counts may 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 1,623 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 46,952 total units with 45,329 occupied and 1,623 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Orange, CA's ACS median gross rent is $2,327, while renter-occupied units account for 43.3% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 56.7%. The $2,327 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
