The local figures answer the first question: San Ramon, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 30,744 total housing units, 30,103 occupied units, and 641 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can nevertheless 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 641 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 30,744 total units with 30,103 occupied and 641 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
A grounded San Ramon, CA comparison starts with current listings and lease offers, then uses the ACS evidence to check whether the sample is being interpreted in the context of 30,744 total units, a vacancy share of 2.1%, and an owner share of 70.9%. On the rental side, replace the $2,968 median with the actual lease, utilities, deposits, and expected changes. For the ownership budget, keep the 70.9% share as market context while adding the selected property's price, taxes, insurance, maintenance, association obligations, loan disclosures, and cash-to-close. The resulting worksheet will not turn 29.1% or 70.9% into a recommendation, but it will keep the two paths comparable and make the remaining assumptions visible before a decision.
