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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Oregon exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with the Portland metro area in the northwest displaying notably lower homeownership percentages (dark purple and teal tones, often below 50-60%) compared to many rural and suburban zip codes that reach 80-90%. The southeastern corner of the state, particularly in Harney and Malheur county areas, shows a striking cluster of very low owner-occupancy rates (deep purple), likely reflecting a combination of sparse population, seasonal housing, and agricultural rental properties. Coastal zip codes and the Willamette Valley present a patchwork pattern with significant variation between adjacent zip codes, suggesting localized housing market dynamics driven by factors such as college towns (Corvallis, Eugene), resort communities, and retirement destinations.
