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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Austin metro exhibit a clear north-south gradient, with several zip codes in the far northern reaches near Georgetown and beyond displaying elevated rates in the 12–20%+ range, likely reflecting newer developments still absorbing residents. Central Austin and the southern corridor generally maintain lower vacancy rates in the 2–8% range, consistent with more established and demand-constrained neighborhoods. A notable pocket of higher vacancy (approximately 12–16%) appears on the western edge near Cedar Park, contrasting sharply with the consistently tight housing markets in Pflugerville and Round Rock to the east.
