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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Ohio exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with major metropolitan cores—particularly Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Akron—displaying notably lower rates (40–55%) in dark teal and purple tones, while surrounding suburban and rural zip codes consistently reach 80–90%. The southeastern Appalachian region shows more variability, with pockets of lower owner-occupancy interspersed among moderate-rate areas, likely reflecting a mix of older housing stock and economic constraints. Northwestern Ohio stands out as a broad swath of high owner-occupancy, with relatively uniform yellow-green shading suggesting stable, predominantly single-family housing markets across its rural and small-town communities.
