The published evidence provides the starting point: Vancouver, WA's current ACS housing baseline includes 85,421 total housing units, 81,504 occupied units, and 3,917 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 3,917 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For borrower planning, reading 85,421 total units with 81,504 occupied and 3,917 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Vancouver, WA's ACS median gross rent is $1,702, while renter-occupied units account for 49.2% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 50.8%.
