The local figures answer the first question: Port Arthur, TX's current ACS housing baseline includes 25,631 total housing units, 21,630 occupied units, and 4,001 vacant units. For the decision at hand, 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 4,001 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 25,631 total units with 21,630 occupied and 4,001 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Port Arthur, TX's ACS median gross rent is $1,021, while renter-occupied units account for 42.0% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 58.0%. For borrower planning, the $1,021 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
