Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Kansas

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across Kansas display significant spatial heterogeneity, with the Kansas City metropolitan area in the northeast exhibiting notably low vacancy rates (dark purple, near 0–4%), consistent with strong housing demand in the state's largest urban center. Rural western and central Kansas zip codes tend toward higher vacancy rates (yellow-green, 20–30%), particularly in the northwest quadrant and scattered agricultural communities, reflecting ongoing population decline in these areas. A notable cluster of very low vacancy also appears around the Wichita metro area in south-central Kansas, while isolated high-vacancy pockets in the southwest suggest economically distressed small towns interspersed among moderately vacant surrounding areas.
