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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the northwestern corner of the state near Shreveport-Bossier City and scattered areas west of Baton Rouge display notably higher shares of post-2010 construction, with several zones exceeding 20–30%, suggesting concentrated residential development activity. In contrast, much of the southeastern coastal region, particularly around the Mississippi River delta and parts of the New Orleans metro area, shows very low new-build percentages (near 0–4%), likely reflecting land constraints, flood risk, and population loss following repeated hurricane impacts. The central and south-central portions of the state present a patchwork pattern with gray (no data) zones interspersed among moderate-growth zip codes, indicating uneven development dispersed across smaller rural communities.
