The local figures answer the first question: Sugar Land, TX's current ACS housing baseline includes 39,946 total housing units, 38,485 occupied units, and 1,461 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can 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 1,461 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 39,946 total units with 38,485 occupied and 1,461 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vacant units in Sugar Land, TX decreased from 1,748 in the prior ACS period to 1,461 in the current release, a reported movement of 16.4%. In the current housing stock, 1,461 units equal 3.7% of the 39,946 total.
