ZIP 52220 — Iowa County, Iowa

Not ranked — here's why: Over 65% of homes here are absentee-owned. That pattern usually means a vacation or seasonal market — corporate buying here mostly reflects short-term rentals, not the buy-and-hold or flip investing our rankings are built to show. So we show the counts but keep this ZIP out of the rankings.
