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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Illinois exhibit a strong urban-rural divide, with the Chicago metropolitan area in the northeast displaying the most pronounced variation—dense clusters of low owner-occupancy (below 50%) in the city core transition sharply to high-ownership suburban zip codes (above 85%) in surrounding collar counties. Downstate urban centers such as Champaign-Urbana, Springfield, Bloomington-Normal, and Carbondale appear as darker pockets of lower homeownership amid predominantly yellow and light green rural zip codes where owner-occupancy typically exceeds 75%. Southern Illinois generally trends toward moderate ownership rates in the 60–75% range, with somewhat more heterogeneity than the central portion of the state.
