2. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project area appeared to be more diverse than Hillsborough County as a whole. Most census block groups had minority population percentages above the Hillsborough County average, except for the block groups around the hospital and the USF campus. All of the block groups within the study area, except for the block group west of the rail corridor, had higher population percentages of Black or African American residents. Except for several parts in the southwest portion of the study area, most block groups along the corridor had higher Latino/Hispanic population percentages than Hillsborough County as a whole. Population percentages for Asian residents varied throughout the corridor. The majority of census block groups also had a higher percentage of people who speak English “less than very well,” as compared to the average for Hillsborough County of 10.1 percent.
