Tampa by the numbers
Tampa has grown to 413,554 residents, up 7.3% since 2020 (Census estimates).
Hillsborough County has 21 musical groups and artists with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.13 for every 10,000 residents, below the national figure of 0.17.
The Census only counts acts with a payroll, so most bands, which have none, are not in this figure.

What Tampa's weather means for bands
Heat in Tampa means about 94 days a year at 90°F or more, though it seldom reaches 100°F, so a soft, breathable tee sells at outdoor dates, and dark colors hide sweat at packed club shows. Average highs stay at 65°F or more all year, so fleece needs only a small corner of the van and the rest of the space goes to tees and caps. Temperatures change little from season to season, so one table setup works for every run through Tampa, and the design menu matters more than the month. August brings about 9 inches of rain, so outdoor dates that month need a covered table, and stock should stay in its polybags until it sells.

How should a band split tees and hoodies for shows in Tampa?
Nearly all tees. Average highs in Tampa stay at 70°F or above in every month, so a hoodie is a souvenir for air-conditioned rooms rather than a winter need.
