Housing Vacancy Rate by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — St. Louis Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates in the St. Louis metro area are highest in the urban core and north St. Louis City zip codes, where several areas exceed 20–30%, reflecting long-standing patterns of population loss and disinvestment. A secondary cluster of elevated vacancy (12–20%) extends northward from the city into the Florissant corridor and inner-ring North County suburbs. In contrast, the outer suburban zip codes—particularly around St. Peters, St. Charles, and the southwest and southeast periphery—consistently register vacancy rates below 4–8%, indicating tighter housing markets in areas that have absorbed much of the region's growth.
