AgeAn important trend in Pinellas County is the aging of the population. The trend is important because thepopulation of Pinellas County has been getting older over the past 20 years. This may be attributed to thelarge number of “baby-boomers” residing in Pinellas County, as well as the significant retirementpopulation. Figure 3-1 shows the median age of Pinellas County from 1990 to 2000, as well as median ageprojections through 2020. The median age has increased by over nine percent from 1990 to 2010.Figure 3-1Median Age50.0Age48.046.044.042.040.048.148.246.045.944.243.042.01970 1980 1990 2000 2005 2010 2020YearSources: Florida Statistical Abstract, 2009, Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Florida and the American Community Survey of the U.S.Census.Household SizeIn addition to having the highest population density in Florida, Pinellas County is one of two counties thathave the smallest average household size. According to BEBR, the 2008 estimated average householdsize is 2.15 persons, placing Pinellas County with Sarasota County as having the smallest averagehousehold size in the state.Minority PopulationPinellas County’s population shows that there is a lower proportion of minorities when compared to Floridaand the nation as a whole. According to the 2008 ACS, over 80 percent of the county population is white,nearly 10 percent is African-American, less than 3 percent is Asian, and slightly more than 3 percent is ofanother race or two or more races. Nearly 7 percent of the population is of Hispanic origin.IncomeAccording to the 2008 ACS, the estimated 2008 median household income for Pinellas County is $45,895.This represents a 24-percent increase since 2000. The 2000 Census data show that median householdincome in the county was $37,111, an increase of 41 percent since 1990. Approximately 10.4 percent ofthe county population has an annual household income below the poverty line in 2008.Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc.Pinellas Suncoast Transit AuthoritySeptember 2010 3-6 Transit Development Plan
Auto OwnershipBased on the 2000 Census, over 9 percent of the occupied dwelling units in Pinellas County did not have avehicle available for use. Households with no vehicles are considered a primary market for publictransportation services. In most cases, persons living in occupied dwelling units had access to more thanone automobile. Table 3-2 shows the primary means of travel to work for Pinellas County residents.Census and ACS data show that automobiles are the overwhelming choice for travel. According to the2000 Census, over 90 percent of workers over age 16 use their personal automobile to drive to work, withnearly 80 percent driving alone. It is important to note that the transit mode split increased from 1.5 percentin 1990 to 1.9 percent in 2000, an increase of 27 percent. However, according to 2008 ACS data, singleoccupancy vehicle travel has decreased only 0.1 percent, while the carpool, walking, and transit modeshares have all decreased between 2000 and 2008. Work at Home has seen the most significant increasefrom 1990 to 2008.Table 3-2Means of Transportation to WorkMode Preference 1990 2000 2008% Change1990-2000% Change2000-2008Drive Alone 78.9% 79.7 % 79.6% 1.0% -0.1%Carpool 12.5% 11.0% 9.2% -12.0% -16.4%Walk 2.4% 2.0% 1.7% -16.7% -15.0%Public Transportation 1.5% 1.9% 1.6% 26.7% -15.8%Work at Home 2.5% 3.5% 5.0% 40.0% 42.9%Other Means 2.2% 1.8% 2.9% -18.2% 61.1%Sources: 1990 and 2000 Census, and 2008 ACS.EmploymentUnemployment rates in the county have been on the rise since 2000. In 2000, the unemployment rate was2.5 percent. Due to the economic recession beginning in 2007, the unemployment rate in 2009 reached10.8 percent.

That unemployment rate is higher than thestatewide average for Florida (11.5%).The economy in Pinellas County is primarily service-oriented, with over 45 percent of employment fallingwithin this category in 2002.
