Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Mississippi

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across Mississippi exhibit considerable spatial heterogeneity, with the highest rates (20–30%+) concentrated in the Mississippi Delta region along the western edge and scattered rural zip codes in the central and southern portions of the state. The Gulf Coast and southeastern coastal zip codes display notably low vacancy rates, often below 4%, likely reflecting sustained housing demand in the Biloxi-Gulfport metropolitan corridor. Urban centers such as Jackson and the Tupelo area in the northeast show moderate vacancy rates in the 8–12% range, contrasting sharply with adjacent rural zip codes that trend significantly higher.
