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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Rural and exurban zip codes across central and southern Idaho consistently exhibit owner-occupancy rates above 80%, with particularly strong concentrations in the agricultural regions of the Magic Valley and upper Snake River Plain appearing in bright yellow. In contrast, urban cores—most notably the Boise metropolitan area in the southwest, Moscow in the north, and areas around Idaho Falls and Pocatello in the southeast—display markedly lower owner-occupancy rates dropping below 50%, reflecting higher concentrations of rental housing tied to university populations and denser urban development. The northern panhandle shows considerable heterogeneity, with teal- and blue-shaded zip codes around Coeur d'Alene and Kellogg interspersed among higher-ownership rural zones, suggesting localized pockets of renter-heavy housing markets in resort and former mining communities.
