Tampa's West Tampa air quality reflects the historic Cuban and Spanish heritage neighbourhood west of the Hillsborough River, with vehicle traffic on Armenia Avenue and the surrounding dense residential and commercial character contributing local sources. The flat coastal terrain allows reasonable dispersal, while the neighbourhood's residential character and the Tampa Bay maritime influence maintain moderate Tampa metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
