When I looked it said 13.9 million. But how many of those are habitable? Does that number include Airbnbs? Properties stuck in probate or the foreclosure process? How many of them are in senior communities that don't allow younger people or families? The census data doesn't specify any of that.

That's true, there might only be as few as 15 vacant properties for every person we are currently allowing to freeze to death.
