There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Patriot Transportation Holding shares can be evaluated.
Patriot Transportation Holding's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Patriot Transportation Holding's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Patriot Transportation Holding shares, or, against the total number of tradable Patriot Transportation Holding shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Patriot Transportation Holding's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Patriot Transportation Holding shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0001% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Patriot Transportation Holding shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).
