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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Indiana generally exceed 70% in rural and suburban zip codes, with the highest concentrations (85–90%+) forming broad yellow bands across the northern tier and in exurban areas surrounding Indianapolis. Sharp drops below 50% cluster in urban cores—most prominently in downtown Indianapolis, the Lafayette area (likely driven by Purdue University), Bloomington (Indiana University), and Muncie (Ball State University), as well as portions of Gary and East Chicago in the northwest corner. The southern third of the state displays notably more variability than the north, with pockets of lower owner-occupancy interspersed among otherwise moderate-to-high rates, likely reflecting smaller college towns and economically distressed communities in the Appalachian foothills region.
