housing stock
Total residential units
Housing stock is the total supply of residential buildings in a given area—a city, region, or country.
Urban planners and economists use the term when discussing availability, age, or condition of homes: The city's aging housing stock needs renovation.
It encompasses all dwelling types: single-family homes, apartments, public housing, and everything in between.
