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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Michigan's zip codes reveal a stark urban-rural divide, with the Detroit metropolitan area in the southeast displaying the lowest concentrations—frequently below 50%—while rural and exurban zip codes throughout the northern Lower Peninsula and much of the Upper Peninsula consistently exceed 80%. Mid-sized cities such as Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Marquette appear as localized pockets of lower owner-occupancy amid otherwise high-ownership surrounding areas. The Upper Peninsula shows notable internal variation, with several zip codes along the Lake Superior corridor and near university towns (such as Houghton) registering markedly lower rates compared to their more uniformly yellow-shaded neighbors.
