Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Rhode Island

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the northern and western portions of Rhode Island—particularly in areas corresponding to Burrillville, Glocester, and parts of Coventry—tend toward larger average household sizes in the 2.8–3.2+ range, consistent with more suburban and rural single-family housing stock. In contrast, Providence's urban core and the Block Island zip code register notably lower averages, dropping below 2.0, reflecting higher concentrations of single-person households, student housing, and smaller rental units. A few small zip codes show extreme values at both ends of the spectrum, including a bright yellow outlier near the southern coast suggesting a localized area with average household sizes approaching 3.5.
