St. Petersburg's urban core contains a deep pool of high-earning renter-by-choice households. Within a short radius of the site, more than 36,000 households earn over $120,000 annually — the income band that comfortably supports a ~$3,585 monthly rent. The submarket continues to attract young professionals, medical/tech talent, and remote-work households seeking high-quality Class A living.
In-migrating households to St. Petersburg bring median incomes far above the county baseline, expanding the addressable renter pool for top-tier multifamily assets.
Black Salmon's proprietary location intelligence platform tracks anonymized mobile devices across Tampa Bay to understand how target households actually live, move, and spend time. For Gallery Haus, the platform validated this site as the optimal intersection of daily activity, employment access, and lifestyle amenities, reducing site-selection risk and sharpening lease-up strategy.
This data-science advantage informs site selection, amenity sizing, and targeted marketing—translating behavioral analytics into underwriting discipline and competitive differentiation.
