Housing vacancy rates across North Carolina exhibit a pronounced east-west gradient, with coastal and mountain resort areas in the western highlands and Outer Banks region displaying the highest rates (20–30%+), likely driven by seasonal and vacation housing stock. The central Piedmont corridor—particularly zip codes surrounding the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Triad metro areas—consistently registers the lowest vacancy rates (0–4%), reflecting sustained demand in the state's major employment centers. Rural zip codes in the eastern Coastal Plain and southern Sand Hills show moderate-to-high vacancy (12–20%), suggesting persistent population decline and housing surplus outside metropolitan growth corridors.
