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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in Mississippi display a pronounced urban-rural divide, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered around the Delta region in the northwest and major population centers such as Jackson, Hattiesburg, and the Gulf Coast, where renter-heavy housing markets predominate. Rural zip codes across the eastern and southern portions of the state consistently reach 80–90% owner-occupancy, particularly in the pine belt and northeastern hill country regions. The Mississippi Delta stands out as the largest contiguous area of depressed homeownership, likely reflecting persistent poverty, population loss, and a higher prevalence of rental housing stock in that corridor.
