E. Community Characteristics I. Demographics
The following infographics show the demographics for the study area (in blue, above, or to the left), and Hillsborough County (in orange, below, or to the right). More information and maps can be found in Appendix IV . As can be expected in urban areas, population densities along the entire E. 131 st Avenue corridor were generally higher than Hillsborough County as awhole. Themoredense concentrations of population and residential uses generally occurred towards the center of the corridor, as industrial uses and institutional uses dominated the west and east ends of the roadway.

As can be expected in an area bordering USF, the project corridor has a much higher percentage of residents age 18-21 than Hillsborough County as a whole (23.8 percent for the E. 131 st Avenue versus 5.5 percent for the county as a whole). In addition, the project area has half the percentage of residents age 40-64 compared to Hillsborough County as a whole. These demographic differences illustrate the connection between the E. 131 st Avenue corridor and the University of South Florida.
