Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Philadelphia Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Philadelphia metro area concentrate most heavily in the urban core, with zip codes in and around Center City Philadelphia and Camden displaying rates in the 8–20%+ range, while surrounding suburban zip codes in Montgomery, Bucks, and Chester counties generally fall below 4%. A notable cluster of elevated vacancy appears near Trenton, where a small pocket reaches above 20%, contrasting sharply with the low-vacancy suburban zones immediately to its west and south. The lowest vacancy rates—near 0–2%—are scattered throughout the outer suburban ring, particularly in areas southwest of Chester and in portions of western Montgomery County near King of Prussia.
