Owner-occupancy rates in the Boston metro area exhibit a clear core-periphery gradient, with the lowest concentrations (below 40–50%) clustered tightly in downtown Boston, Somerville, and parts of Cambridge, reflecting the dominance of rental housing in the urban core. Suburban and exurban zip codes to the west, northwest, and south—particularly around Waltham, Newton's western edges, and the southwestern periphery—consistently exceed 80% owner-occupancy, forming a broad arc of homeownership. Notable exceptions to this gradient include Lynn, which registers relatively low owner-occupancy despite its peripheral location, and several Quincy-area zip codes that show mixed rates straddling the 50–60% range.
