HRSA Financial Assistance (2015-2025)

• Total HRSA assistance varies widely across the 20 benchmark MSAs, with major hubs like Atlanta, Austin, Miami, and Dallas consistently receiving the largest allocations throughout the decade.
• Tampa Bay’s assistance levels remain mid-tier relative to peer metros, following a steady long-term trajectory with a noticeable peak around 2021 before moderating in subsequent years.
• Rankings highlight Tampa Bay’s stable competitive position; the region improved gradually through the late 2010s, experienced a temporary boost in 2021, and then settled into a consistent mid-range ranking as other metros saw larger year-over-year gains.
• Overall, federal financial assistance into major MSAs shows a clear surge during 2020–2021 followed by normalization, reflecting national patterns tied to pandemic-era funding and subsequent stabilization.
