Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

The job is in Tampa, FL. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Tampa compares. Among the 120 largest places in Florida, Tampa is #3 by population, #20 for remote work (#1 = most), #100 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #24 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Hillsborough County, is #3 of 67 counties for average pay ($75,256).

The place in numbers

Tampa has 401,618 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 1.8% of the population of Florida. It covers 114 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,508 people per square mile. The median age is 35.9, 16% younger than the state median (35.9 against 42.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,701 a month (rent plus utilities), about the same as the state median ($1,701 against $1,669). Over a year that is 27.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $420,400, which is 5.6 times the median household income ($75,475); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 50.3% of households own their home, 26% below the state average (50.3% against 67.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL metropolitan area has 1,447,120 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $48,940 a year, 4% below the national median ($48,940 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (185,560 jobs, median $45,800); sales and related (147,430 jobs, median $37,540); food preparation and serving related (138,090 jobs, median $34,840). The area is most specialised in legal (1.4 times) and business and financial operations (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($117,690) and computer and mathematical ($101,730). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Hillsborough County was 4.3%. 66.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Hillsborough County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 63.4% drive alone, 1.3% use public transit, 2.2% walk, 22.0% work from home. 12.5% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 31% below the state average (12.5% against 18.1%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

45.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 34% above the state share (45.7% against 34.1%). 19.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 11% below the state share (19.4% against 21.9%). The poverty rate is 15.4%, 23% above the state rate (15.4% against 12.6%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 82°F (27.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 59°F (15.2°C). About 1,440 mm (57 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Aug is the wettest month (252 mm) and Nov the driest (49 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Carrollwood (6 miles, similar rent); Town 'n' Country (7 miles, similar rent); University (8 miles, rent 24% lower); Brandon (11 miles, rent 5% higher). Rent differences are against Tampa; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
