San Mateo, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 42,641 total housing units, 39,895 occupied units, and 2,746 vacant units. For borrower planning, 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 2,746 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 42,641 total units with 39,895 occupied and 2,746 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Vacant units in San Mateo, CA increased from 2,557 in the prior ACS period to 2,746 in the current release, a reported movement of 7.4%. In the current housing stock, 2,746 units equal 6.4% of the 42,641 total.
