Tampa, FL: 2nd of 100 for summer AC repair searches
Tampa has 103.2 typical June–August searches for AC repair help per 1,000 households, 3.1x the median city (33.8). That's 2.47x what its normal summer heat predicts, 2nd of 100 cities on this measure.
Ranking check: Not confirmed. Tampa ranks 2nd on households inside city limits but 33rd on metro population. Its city limits hold 12% of the metro's people, so the city-limits figure may overstate it. How the check works
