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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Pennsylvania exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered in major metropolitan cores—Philadelphia in the southeast, Pittsburgh in the southwest, and smaller cities such as State College, Scranton, and Allentown—where rental housing dominates. Rural and exurban zip codes across the northern tier and central portions of the state consistently reach 80–90% owner-occupancy, forming broad swaths of yellow that indicate strong homeownership prevalence. The southeastern quadrant displays the most heterogeneity, with Philadelphia's deep purple core giving way to high-ownership suburban rings in Chester, Bucks, and Montgomery counties within short distances.
