% of Population on Food Stamps or SNAP (Last 12 Months), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Tampa Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in and immediately surrounding central Tampa display the highest SNAP participation rates in the metro, with several areas north and east of downtown reaching 35–50%, while nearby coastal and suburban zip codes in south Hillsborough County fall below 5%. A secondary cluster of elevated SNAP usage appears in parts of St. Petersburg and southern Pinellas County, though rates there generally remain lower than the Tampa core. The sharpest contrasts occur along the Hillsborough Bay corridor, where high-participation zip codes sit directly adjacent to areas with minimal SNAP enrollment, underscoring significant income stratification over short distances.
