Housing % of Units Built Since 2010, by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Detroit Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Newer housing construction concentrates heavily in the northwestern suburbs, where several zip codes in the Milford, South Lyon, and Commerce Township areas show 20–30%+ of units built since 2010, reflecting ongoing greenfield development at the metro's exurban fringe. By contrast, the urban core of Detroit and its inner-ring suburbs—including Dearborn, Taylor, and Westland—register near-zero new construction, consistent with older, fully built-out housing stock and limited infill activity. A secondary cluster of moderate new building (8–16%) appears along the northeastern corridor near Sterling Heights and portions of Macomb County, suggesting suburban densification through apartment or townhome development.
