Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Missouri

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Rural southern Missouri and the Lake of the Ozarks region exhibit the highest housing vacancy rates, frequently exceeding 20–30%, consistent with areas dominated by seasonal and recreational properties. The Kansas City and St. Louis metropolitan zip codes display notably lower vacancy rates, generally below 8%, with many suburban zip codes in the 2–4% range reflecting tight housing markets. A scattered patchwork of moderate-to-high vacancy (12–20%) persists across north-central Missouri's agricultural communities, contrasting with the consistently low-vacancy corridors along the I-70 urban spine connecting the state's two major metros.
