What the local data means for roofing in Largo

Largo is one of the most established suburbs tracked here — 80,690 people (2025 estimate), down just 2.5% since 2020[2]. The city spans 18.8 square miles at 4,298 residents per square mile (the 2nd densest) and sits entirely in Pinellas County, served by ZIP codes 33771, 33770, 33774, 33764, 33760, 33778[3].

Roofs of every age sit side by side here: 6% of homes were built in 2010 or later and 56% before 1980[4], so two houses on one street can need very different roof work.

Largo is split across 6 ZIP codes: 33771 (27% of the city's land), 33770 (22% of the city's land), 33774 (12% of the city's land), 33764 (12% of the city's land), 33760 (12% of the city's land), 33778 (6% of the city's land)[5].
