South Gate, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 25,733 total housing units, 25,199 occupied units, and 534 vacant units. For borrower planning, those counts may 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 534 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. Reading 25,733 total units with 25,199 occupied and 534 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

South Gate, CA's ACS median gross rent is $1,531, while renter-occupied units account for 54.7% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 45.3%.
