Housing Owner-Occupied % of Units, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Delaware

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in Delaware exhibit a clear north-south gradient, with the highest concentrations (85–90%+) clustered in the rural and suburban zip codes of central Kent County and western Sussex County, appearing in bright yellow. The Wilmington metro area in New Castle County displays significant internal variation, with several urban zip codes near the city core dropping below 40–50%, contrasting sharply with surrounding suburban areas that reach 70–80%. Coastal Sussex County zip codes, particularly around Rehoboth Beach and the beach resort communities, show notably lower owner-occupancy rates in the 45–60% range, likely reflecting a high proportion of rental and seasonal housing stock.
