Housing Owner-Occupied % of Units, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Washington D.C.

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Owner-occupancy rates in Washington D.C. exhibit a stark north-south gradient, with the highest concentrations (80–90%+) clustered in the northwestern zip codes, likely corresponding to neighborhoods such as Chevy Chase, Barnaby Woods, and upper Northwest. The central, eastern, and southeastern portions of the district fall predominantly below 50%, reflecting the heavily renter-occupied character of areas like downtown, Capitol Hill East, and Anacostia. A transitional band of moderate ownership (60–70%) is visible in the upper-central and northeastern zip codes, suggesting areas with a more balanced housing tenure mix.
