Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Pennsylvania

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Philadelphia metropolitan area in the southeast and Pittsburgh region in the southwest exhibit notably low vacancy rates, generally below 4%, consistent with sustained housing demand in Pennsylvania's two largest urban cores. In contrast, the north-central tier and Pocono Mountain regions display persistently elevated vacancy rates exceeding 20-30%, likely reflecting concentrations of seasonal and recreational housing stock. A distinct band of higher vacancy also traces the ridge-and-valley corridor through central Pennsylvania, while suburban collar counties surrounding Philadelphia — including Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks — maintain some of the tightest housing markets in the state.
