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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in the Seattle metro display a clear urban-suburban gradient, with the lowest concentrations (below 40–50%) clustered tightly in central Seattle, downtown Tacoma, and along the dense corridor running through Renton and Kent. Peripheral and exurban zip codes to the east, southeast, and north consistently reach 80–90% owner-occupancy, forming a yellow-hued ring around the metro's core. Bellevue and Kirkland present a more mixed pattern than their eastside neighbors, with pockets of lower ownership likely corresponding to multifamily development near commercial centers.
