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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates across Virginia exhibit a clear urban-rural divide, with the lowest concentrations (below 50%) clustered in independent cities and urban cores such as the Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Charlottesville areas, as well as parts of Northern Virginia near the D.C. metro. Rural and exurban zip codes in the Shenandoah Valley, Southside, and Southwest Virginia consistently register the highest owner-occupancy rates, frequently exceeding 80-90%. The Eastern Shore stands out as a notable exception to the rural pattern, displaying markedly lower owner-occupancy percentages compared to other non-metropolitan areas of the state.
