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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Missouri exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered in the Kansas City and St. Louis metropolitan cores, as well as in the southeastern Bootheel region, likely reflecting higher shares of rental housing in dense urban areas and economically disadvantaged rural communities. The highest owner-occupancy rates, exceeding 85%, are broadly distributed across northern Missouri's rural zip codes and in suburban rings surrounding the major metros. Central Missouri displays a patchwork pattern, with college towns like Columbia standing out as lower-ownership pockets amid otherwise moderate-to-high surrounding areas.
