The published evidence provides the starting point: Stamford, CT's current ACS housing baseline includes 58,655 total housing units, 55,291 occupied units, and 3,364 vacant units. 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 3,364 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 58,655 total units with 55,291 occupied and 3,364 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Stamford, CT's ACS median gross rent is $2,276, while renter-occupied units account for 51.2% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 48.8%. In practical terms, the $2,276 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
