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

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Housing vacancy rates across the Tampa metro area exhibit a pronounced east-west gradient, with coastal zip codes along the Pinellas County peninsula—particularly the beach communities south of St. Petersburg—reaching 20–30%, while inland Hillsborough County zip codes east of Tampa generally fall below 8%. The lowest vacancy rates, under 4%, cluster in the southeastern suburban and exurban areas, suggesting tight housing supply in newer residential growth corridors. A secondary pocket of elevated vacancy appears in the northern reaches of the metro near the Pasco-Pinellas border, though at more moderate levels than the Gulf Coast beach zones.
