Start with the dated local finding: Virginia Beach, VA's current ACS housing baseline includes 191,294 total housing units, 179,851 occupied units, and 11,443 vacant units. In practical terms, 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 11,443 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 191,294 total units with 179,851 occupied and 11,443 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.
Virginia Beach, VA's ACS median gross rent is $1,714, while renter-occupied units account for 34.9% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 65.1%. The $1,714 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not reveal a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
