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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Seattle metro area are generally low, with most zip codes falling in the 4–8% range, though notable exceptions create a distinct geographic pattern. The highest vacancy rates (exceeding 20%) cluster in a corridor southwest of Renton and in isolated pockets near the northern shoreline areas, while the lowest rates (under 4%) concentrate heavily in the eastern suburbs around Bellevue, Redmond, and southeast King County. The core Seattle zip codes display moderate vacancy rates in the 6–12% range, contrasting sharply with the tighter housing markets in the Eastside communities.
