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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The outer suburban ring of the Houston metro—particularly the large zip codes west of Katy, northwest toward The Woodlands, and in the far southwest—consistently registers the highest shares of post-2010 construction at 20–30%+, reflecting rapid greenfield development on the metropolitan fringe. In stark contrast, the urban core surrounding downtown Houston and the inner-loop neighborhoods display some of the lowest percentages (under 4%), indicative of an already built-out housing stock with limited new unit additions. Notable pockets of moderate new construction (8–15%) appear in transitional areas such as Pearland, portions of Sugar Land, and select corridors between the inner city and outer suburbs, suggesting infill and redevelopment activity in maturing suburban communities.
