Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Los Angeles Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Los Angeles metro exhibit stark geographic contrasts, with the highest concentrations (20–30%+) clustered along the eastern periphery near the San Gabriel Valley foothills and scattered pockets on the western coastal edge, likely reflecting seasonal or investment properties. Central and south-central areas between Downtown LA and Long Beach generally display moderate vacancy rates in the 4–8% range, while some of the tightest housing markets with near-zero vacancy appear in southern Orange County communities near Huntington Beach and in established suburban zones around Garden Grove and Santa Ana. The northern reaches toward Santa Clarita show notably elevated vacancy rates compared to the denser urban core, suggesting newer or less fully absorbed housing stock in those outlying communities.
