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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentrations of post-2010 housing construction cluster around the Charlotte metropolitan area in the southwest, the Research Triangle region (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) in the central Piedmont, and several coastal communities near Wilmington and Brunswick County, where yellow shading indicates 25–30%+ of housing stock built since 2010. In contrast, rural zip codes across the northeastern Coastal Plain, parts of the western mountains, and the central Sandhills region consistently show very low new construction rates below 4%, reflecting slower population growth and limited development pressure. The gray (no-data) zip codes scattered throughout the state's rural interior further underscore the uneven distribution of residential development activity across North Carolina.
