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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Virginia zip codes, particularly in the Loudoun and Prince William County corridors, display the highest concentrations of post-2010 construction, with several ZCTAs exceeding 20–30% new housing units, reflecting sustained suburban and exurban growth pressure near the Washington, D.C. metro area. By contrast, much of southwestern Virginia and the rural Southside region shows negligible new construction, with many zip codes at or near 0%, underscoring the persistent geographic divide between the state's high-growth urban crescent and its economically stagnant rural periphery. Scattered pockets of moderate construction activity (8–12%) appear around Richmond, Charlottesville, and the Hampton Roads area, suggesting localized demand nodes beyond the dominant Northern Virginia growth engine.
