Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Georgia

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across Georgia exhibit a pronounced urban-rural divide, with the lowest rates (under 4%) concentrated in the Atlanta metropolitan area's suburban zip codes, particularly in the northern arc spanning from Cobb through Gwinnett counties, reflecting sustained housing demand in those high-growth corridors. Southern and southwestern Georgia display notably elevated vacancy rates, frequently exceeding 20%, with clusters of yellow-shaded zip codes suggesting persistent population decline and housing surplus in rural communities. The coastal region near Savannah and the barrier islands presents a mixed pattern, with some zip codes showing very low vacancy alongside adjacent areas with moderate-to-high rates, likely reflecting the contrast between seasonal/vacation housing stock and year-round residential markets.
