Over the past five years of available Census data, Hillsborough County surpassed a quarter of a million black or African American residents (256,400) and ranked 4th among Florida’s 67 counties for largest net black population growth.
From 2013 to 2018, Hillsborough saw net black population growth of 28,000. Only three Florida counties had more of an influx: Broward, Orange, and Palm Beach counties.
Three-quarters of Hillsborough’s five-year black population growth can be credited to inbound migration of new residents. Over the timeframe reviewed by Power Broker Media, net births (births minus deaths) equals around 7,100.
