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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in the Denver metro area exhibit a strong core-periphery gradient, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered tightly around central Denver and extending into adjacent zip codes to the west near Lakewood, while the outermost suburban and exurban zip codes—particularly to the northeast, northwest, and far south—consistently exceed 80%. Aurora displays notable internal variation, with eastern zip codes reaching high owner-occupancy levels while areas closer to central Denver remain substantially lower. Broomfield and Thornton occupy a middle band in the 70–80% range, serving as a transitional zone between the renter-heavy urban core and the predominantly owner-occupied suburban fringe.
