Owner-occupancy rates across North Carolina exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustering in major metropolitan cores—particularly the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro, Asheville, Wilmington, and Fayetteville areas—where rental housing dominates. Rural zip codes throughout the western mountains, Piedmont periphery, and northeastern Coastal Plain consistently reach 80–90% owner-occupancy, forming broad swaths of yellow that contrast sharply with the dark purple urban centers. The Outer Banks and portions of the southeastern coast also display notably depressed owner-occupancy rates, likely reflecting the prevalence of vacation rental and seasonal housing stock in those areas.
