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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The northern tip of New Hampshire near the Canadian border exhibits consistently high owner-occupancy rates above 85%, while a distinct corridor of lower owner-occupancy (40–55%) runs through the central-western part of the state, likely corresponding to the Lebanon-Hanover area and college-town rental markets. Southern New Hampshire displays a patchwork pattern, with predominantly yellow high-ownership suburban zip codes interspersed with pockets of significantly lower rates in urban centers such as Manchester, Nashua, and Concord. The seacoast region along the southeastern border also trends toward lower owner-occupancy, reflecting higher housing costs and denser rental stock in the Portsmouth area.
