Start with the dated local finding: Whittier, CA's current ACS housing baseline includes 29,734 total housing units, 28,099 occupied units, and 1,635 vacant units. In practical terms, those counts can nevertheless 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 1,635 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. For the decision at hand, reading 29,734 total units with 28,099 occupied and 1,635 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Whittier, CA's ACS median gross rent is $1,906, while renter-occupied units account for 42.1% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 57.9%.
