Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Nebraska

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across Nebraska exhibit a pronounced east-west gradient, with the western Panhandle and Sand Hills region displaying generally moderate-to-high vacancy rates (12–20%+), while the eastern third of the state—particularly the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan corridors—contains concentrated clusters of very low vacancy (under 4%), reflecting tighter urban housing markets. Several isolated rural zip codes scattered throughout central and south-central Nebraska register extremely high vacancy rates above 25%, likely corresponding to small, depopulating communities. Notable pockets of near-zero vacancy appear in the southeastern corner and around the Omaha metro area, contrasting sharply with adjacent rural zip codes that often exceed 15%.
