Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Maine

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Much of Maine's interior and northern regions exhibit housing vacancy rates exceeding 20–30%, consistent with seasonal and recreational housing stock in rural, lake-adjacent, and forested areas. The southern coastal corridor from Portland through York County and the Bangor metropolitan area display notably lower vacancy rates, generally below 8%, reflecting tighter housing markets in the state's primary population and employment centers. A distinct cluster of very low vacancy rates (0–4%) appears in the greater Portland and midcoast regions, while pockets of moderate vacancy (8–12%) are scattered through the Downeast coast and central highlands transition zones.
