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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in Maryland exhibit a stark urban-suburban divide, with Baltimore City and portions of Prince George's County displaying the lowest rates (below 50%), while exurban and rural zip codes in western Maryland, the Eastern Shore, and southern Maryland consistently exceed 80%. The Washington, D.C. suburbs in Montgomery and Prince George's counties show a patchwork pattern, with higher ownership rates in outer-ring communities and noticeably lower rates closer to the District boundary and along major transit corridors. Ocean City and several Chesapeake Bay resort areas on the lower Eastern Shore also register depressed owner-occupancy figures, likely reflecting high concentrations of seasonal rental and vacation properties.
