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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Nebraska's zip codes display a clear east-to-west gradient, with the southern and southeastern portions of the state generally exhibiting higher ownership rates (frequently 80–90%), while the western and north-central Sandhills region trends notably lower, with many zip codes falling into the 50–70% range. Urban centers, particularly the Omaha metro area in the far east and what appears to be Lincoln, contain pockets of sharply lower owner-occupancy (below 50%), consistent with higher concentrations of rental housing in college towns and major employment hubs. Several isolated dark-purple zip codes scattered across the western half likely correspond to small towns with significant rental stock, such as communities with colleges, military installations, or agricultural worker housing.
