Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Louisiana

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across Louisiana exhibit a pronounced north-south gradient, with the highest concentrations (20–30%+) clustered in the rural central and north-central parishes, particularly in the Mississippi Delta region and areas west of Monroe. The greater New Orleans metropolitan area in the southeast displays notably lower vacancy rates, generally below 8%, though several isolated zip codes within the city register near-zero rates characteristic of dense urban cores. Southwestern Louisiana around the Lake Charles area and the Acadiana region show moderate vacancy rates in the 8–15% range, while scattered high-vacancy outliers in coastal zones likely reflect seasonal or storm-damaged housing stock.
