Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Atlanta Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Atlanta metro exhibit a pronounced core-periphery gradient, with the highest concentrations (20–30%+) clustered in zip codes southeast of downtown Atlanta near Hartsfield-Jackson and in several far-northern exurban areas, suggesting a mix of disinvestment and newer development absorption dynamics. The lowest vacancy rates (0–4%) appear consistently along the northern suburban corridor from Sandy Springs through Roswell and into parts of Alpharetta, reflecting sustained demand in affluent, established communities. A notable band of moderate vacancy (8–12%) runs through Smyrna, Marietta, and much of the western periphery, while pockets of elevated vacancy scattered within the city core likely correspond to areas with high renter turnover or ongoing redevelopment.
