The Planning Commission routinely generates demographic and economic profiles for all and sundry geographic boundaries (e.g., cities, unincorporated areas, ZIP Codes) within Hillsborough County. These comprehensive profiles include estimates and projections for dozens of data elements (e.g., housing units, population, employment, building permits, race/ethnicity, educational levels).

  1. Jurisdictions
  2. ZIP Codes
  3. Tampa Planning Districts
  4. Unincorporated Areas
  5. Utility Service Areas

Alternatively, the Planning Commission has prepared interactive maps and dashboards for users to access new building and demolition permits:

  1. New Nonresidential Building Permits Issued (2021-2025)
  2. New Demolition Permits Issued (2021-2025)
  3. New Residential Building Permits Issued (2021-2025)

If studying development trends, in addition to permits issued, it would be prudent to look at newly built parcels as well:

  1. Newly Built Nonresidential Parcels (2021-2025)
  2. Newly Built Residential Parcels (2021-2025)

The Planning Commission recently concluded its Nondiscrimination and Equity Plan. For more information, please email or call Connor MacDonald at [email protected] or call (813) 946-5334.

As part of the plan implementation efforts, we are currently tracking trends in poverty, evictions, foreclosures, residential building permits, and demolitions. See slide deck here:

Web Scenes are interactive maps that help user to visualize the location of vulnerable populations in Hillsborough County. For instance, a user may click on a Census 2020 Tract to see the concentrations of elderly residents, limited English Speakers, persons with a disability, or households without vehicles. Click on the map below to access the web scenes for vulnerable population concentrations by Census 2020 Tract for periods 2010, 2017, and 2022.

This map shows the concentration of vulnerable populations by Census 2020 Tracts in Hillsborough County. Raw data source: American Community Survey 2022.
2022 Concentrations of Vulnerable Populations by Census 2020 Tracts. Brief guide to the levels: Very high (>80th percentile) means no more than 2 out of 10 Census Tracts in Hillsborough County have more vulnerable residents and households. High (61-80th percentile) means 2 to 4 out of 10 Census Tracts in Hillsborough County have more vulnerable residents and households. Medium (41-60th percentile) means 4 to 6 out of 10 Census Tracts in Hillsborough County have more vulnerable residents and households. Low (20-40th percentile) means 6 to 8 out of 10 Census Tracts in Hillsborough County have more vulnerable residents and households. Very low (<=20th percentile) means at least 8 out of 10 Census Tracts in Hillsborough County have more vulnerable residents and households.

We also have created dashboards where we would be tracking changes across time. For example, a user can find out whether the population of Limited English Speakers in Plant City is higher than 2015 or, for ZIP Code 33510, whether the percent households without cars is lower than in 2015.

Gentrification Trends by Census Tracts

Gentrification is a perennial concern for planners and policymakers.  Historically, it has been associated with densely populated urban working-level areas. Nonetheless, it can also happen in rural environments.  We reviewed several methodologies for identifying areas where gentrification may be occurring.  Here we present indicators of gentrification in Hillsborough County by Census 2020 Tract.

Per the Uprooted Project, we classified Census Tracts by vulnerability to gentrification, demographic change, and change in home prices. Census Tracts showing High or Very High demographic change and changes in the median home prices would be expected to be undergoing the highest levels of gentrification.
