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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Louisiana exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with metropolitan cores—particularly New Orleans in the southeast, Shreveport in the northwest, and Baton Rouge in the south-central region—displaying notably lower rates (below 50%) in dark purple and teal tones, while surrounding suburban and rural zip codes consistently reach 80–90%. The southeastern coastal parishes and the New Orleans metro area form the most pronounced cluster of low owner-occupancy, likely reflecting higher concentrations of rental housing, transient populations, and post-disaster housing dynamics. Northern Louisiana shows a more heterogeneous patchwork, with scattered high-ownership yellow zip codes interspersed among moderate-rate areas, suggesting localized variation tied to small-town economies and land-use patterns.
