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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in Rhode Island exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered in Providence and the densely populated areas of the East Bay, including Newport, while the western and northwestern zip codes—spanning communities like Burrillville, Glocester, and Coventry—consistently exceed 80%. The suburban ring surrounding Providence displays moderate owner-occupancy rates in the 60–75% range, serving as a transitional zone between the renter-heavy urban core and the predominantly owner-occupied rural periphery. Block Island, visible at the southern tip, falls in the mid-range, likely reflecting a mix of year-round owner-occupied homes and seasonal or rental properties.
