The quick read

Reading Tampa, FL beyond the headline numbers

Tampa sits inside Hillsborough County, Florida, at roughly 27.95°N, -82.46°W. Population 414,547, $75,475 median household income. Median home value $420,400, median rent $1,701. Poverty rate 15.5%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.

6 hospitals in/around Tampa, 3.7/5 avg rating, 6 with an ER.

Poverty in Tampa, FL stands at 15.5%, above the midpoint of reporting cities. A median income can look comfortable while a share this size sits well beneath it, which is why the two figures belong together.

The median home in Tampa costs around 5.6 times what a median household earns in a year -- the most expensive quarter of reporting cities, and far enough ahead of local pay that ownership is largely closed to median earners.

22% of Tampa workers report working from home, the highest quarter of reporting cities. Where that share runs this high, local income increasingly reflects employers located somewhere else.

Among the CDC measures on this page, lack of health insurance departs furthest from its peer median: 15.9% in Tampa, the highest-prevalence quarter of the 3,759 cities reporting that measure.
