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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in the Portland metro area exhibit a clear core-periphery gradient, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered in inner Portland, particularly in the central city and near Beaverton, where dense multifamily rental housing predominates. Suburban and exurban zip codes to the south, southeast near Damascus/Happy Valley, and in the northern reaches near Ridgefield display the highest owner-occupancy rates, frequently exceeding 80%. The Hillsboro area presents a notable pocket of lower ownership rates on the western edge, likely reflecting newer apartment construction tied to the tech employment corridor along US-26.
