Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Minnesota

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northern Minnesota exhibits consistently high vacancy rates exceeding 20–30%, particularly across the lake country and resort areas of the northeast and north-central regions, reflecting the prevalence of seasonal and recreational housing units. The Twin Cities metropolitan area stands in sharp contrast with vacancy rates near or below 4%, with some urban core zip codes in Minneapolis and St. Paul dropping close to 0%, indicating a tight housing market. A transitional band of moderate vacancy (8–12%) runs through central Minnesota, while scattered pockets of elevated vacancy appear in smaller rural towns across the southern tier of the state.
