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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Denver metro area exhibit a clear core-periphery pattern, with the highest concentrations—approaching 12–15%—clustered in central Denver neighborhoods just west and northwest of downtown, while outer suburban areas like Centennial, southern Aurora, and the far southwest show notably lower rates below 4%. A distinct corridor of elevated vacancy extends northward from central Denver through the Thornton area, potentially reflecting newer multifamily construction or transitional rental markets. The lowest vacancy rates, falling near 0–2%, are concentrated in established single-family neighborhoods along the southern and southeastern edges of the metro, suggesting persistently tight housing supply in those communities.
