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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Western North Dakota zip codes, particularly in the Williston Basin oil patch region, exhibit the highest concentrations of post-2010 housing construction, with many areas exceeding 20–30% new units—a clear reflection of the Bakken shale boom's sustained demand for housing. In contrast, the eastern and central portions of the state display a patchwork of much lower construction rates, generally below 8%, with notable exceptions around the Fargo-West Fargo and Bismarck-Mandan metropolitan corridors where moderate growth clusters emerge. Several rural zip codes scattered across the state register near 0% new construction, indicating stagnant or declining housing markets in sparsely populated agricultural areas.
