Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New York

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Adirondack region and parts of the North Country exhibit the highest vacancy rates in the state, frequently exceeding 20–30%, consistent with areas dominated by seasonal and vacation housing stock. In contrast, the New York City metropolitan area and Long Island display notably low vacancy rates, often below 4%, reflecting intense housing demand and limited slack in those markets. Western New York, particularly the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions, shows a patchwork of moderate-to-high vacancy rates in the 8–20% range, suggesting uneven population decline and economic stress across smaller cities and rural communities.
