The Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater metro has 3.3M residents (per 2024 ACS 5-year Estimates ), a 2024 median household income of $74K, median home value of $345K, median age of 42, and a 35% bachelor's-degree share among adults 25 and older. The analysis below clusters neighborhoods within the metro's urbanized areas, covering 2.6M of those 3.3M residents. The South Tampa peninsula and the north-county suburbs lead on home values and education, while the coastal communities of west Pasco County sit at the bottom.
Median home value
The highest values sit on the South Tampa peninsula, which tops the metro at $804K, with a second South Tampa cluster at $627K. The north-county suburbs follow: the area south of Westchase at $613K, east St. Petersburg at $582K, and the area north of Citrus Park at $566K. At the bottom, the lowest values cluster in west Pasco County north of the bay: the area west of New Port Richey East at $180K, north of Elfers at $184K, east of Holiday at $203K, east of Hudson at $205K, and the area east of Tampa at $208K. The ≥$500K tier is confined to South Tampa and a few north-county pockets; the under-$200K tier covers the Pasco coast.
Median household income
The highest incomes sit in the north-central suburbs and South Tampa. The area west of Lutz tops the metro at $158K, followed by South Tampa at $142K, the area south of Westchase at $129K, north of Odessa at $119K, and west of East Lake at $118K. The lowest incomes are split between the urban core and the Pasco coast: the area north of Tampa at $38K, east of Hudson at $44K, two clusters east of Tampa at $46K and $47K, and the area west of New Port Richey East at $47K. The ≥$110K tier follows the north-county suburbs and the South Tampa peninsula; the under-$60K tier sits on the urban core and the Pasco coast.
Median age
The oldest neighborhoods are the retirement and coastal communities ringing the bay. The area west of St. Petersburg tops the metro at 61, with the area north of Spring Hill at 58, the area south of Sun City Center — a large age-restricted retirement community — at 57, east of Hudson at 56, and west of West Lealman at 55. The youngest neighborhoods sit around the urban core: the area north of Tampa at 31, west Brandon at 32, and the areas east of Progress Village and east of Tampa at 34. Most of the metro sits in the 40–45 range; the ≥55 tier marks the retirement clusters.
Adults with a bachelor's degree
Education peaks on the South Tampa peninsula, which leads at 72%, with the area south of Westchase at 63%, a second South Tampa cluster at 62%, north Tampa at 61%, and the area west of Lutz at 59%. The lowest shares are in west Pasco County: the area west of Jasmine Estates at 14%, and the areas west of New Port Richey East, north of Elfers, east of Holiday, and east of Hudson all at 16%. The ≥55% tier traces South Tampa and the north-county suburbs; the under-20% tier covers the Pasco coast.
Where the metrics overlap
The South Tampa peninsula sits at the top of home value, income, and education at once, with the north-county suburbs around Westchase and Lutz repeating the pattern. West Pasco County forms the opposite corner: the area west of New Port Richey East bottoms home value at $180K, income near $47K, and education at 16% together. Age runs on its own axis here — the metro's oldest neighborhoods are retirement and coastal communities scattered around the bay, from Sun City Center in the southeast to the St. Petersburg waterfront, and east of Hudson pairs one of the oldest median ages at 56 with one of the lowest home values at $205K.
