TheMiami metropolitan area,also known asSouth Florida,SoFlo,SoFla,[citation needed]the Gold Coast,the Tri-County Area,orGreater Miami,and officially theMiami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area,is a coastalmetropolitan areain southeasternFlorida.It is the ninth-largestmetropolitan statistical area(MSA) in the United States, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in theSouthern United States,and the largest metropolitan area in Florida. With a population of 6.18 million,[3]its population exceeds31 of the nation's 50 statesas of 2023. It comprisesthe three most populated counties in the state,Miami-Dade County,Broward County,andPalm Beach County,which rank as the first, second, and third-most populous counties in the state, respectively. Miami-Dade County, with 2,701,767 people in 2020, is theseventh-most populous county in the United States.

Miamiis the region's financial and cultural core and most populous city. Otherprincipal cities,as defined by theOffice of Management and Budget,includeFort Lauderdale,West Palm Beach,Pompano Beach,Boca Raton,Sunrise,Deerfield Beach,Miami Beach,Kendall,Doral,Delray Beach,Jupiter,andPalm Beach Gardens.[1]The Miami metropolitan area is part of the largerSouth Floridaregion of the state, which also includes theEvergladesand theFlorida Keys.

With 1,279.2 sq mi (3,313 km2) ofurban landmass,the Miami metropolitan area also is one of theworld's most populousurban agglomerations.

South Florida is largely confined to a strip of land between theAtlantic OceanandEverglades,and Miami's urbanized area is about 100 miles (160 km) long (north to south) and at most 20 miles (32 km) east to west; in some areas, its east to west width is only 5 miles (8 km). The Miami metropolitan statistical area is the second-longest urbanized area in the United States behind theNew York metropolitan area.[5]It was the eighth-most densely populated urbanized area in the United States as of the 2000 census.[6]

As of the 2020 census, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale urbanized area had a land area of 1,244.18 square miles (3,222.4 km2), with a population of 6,077,522, for apopulation densityof 4,884.78 inhabitants per square mile (1,886.02/km2). The Miami metropolitan area also had oneurban cluster(UC) as of the 2020 census, which is not part of the Miami urbanized area. The Belle Glade urban cluster had a population of 23,009, area of 7.21 square miles (18.7 km2) and population density of 3,191.41 inhabitants per square mile (1,232.21/km2).[7]Miami, the largest city in the metropolitan area, had population density of over 10,000/sq mi (more than 3,800/km2) in 2000.[8][9]The Miami Urbanized Area was the fourth-largest urbanized area in the United States in the 2010 census.

The most notable colleges and universities in the Miami metropolitan area includeFlorida Atlantic University,Florida International University,Nova Southeastern University,and theUniversity of Miami.The region also has three community colleges,Broward College,Miami Dade College,andPalm Beach State College.Some of these institutions, such as Florida International University and Miami Dade College, make up some of the largest institutions of higher learning in the United States.[10]

Definitions

As of 2023,the Miami metropolitan area is defined by the U.S.Office of Management and Budgetas theMiami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm BeachMetropolitan Statistical Area (MSA),[1]with a 2020 population of 6,138,333. The MSA is made up of three "metropolitan divisions":

  • Miami-Miami Beach-KendallMetropolitan Division, coterminous withMiami Dade County(2020 population 2,701,767).
  • Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-SunriseMetropolitan Division, coterminous withBroward County(2020 population 1,944,375).
  • West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Delray BeachMetropolitan Division, coterminous withPalm Beach County(2020 population 1,492,191).[11]

The MSA is the second most populous metropolitan area in theSoutheastern United Statesand has an area of 6,137 sq. mi (15,890 km2).

The original MSA for Miami, as defined by the OMB, included only Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). By 1995, the Miami-Hialeah and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood-Pompano Beach MSAs had been merged into the Miami-Fort Lauderdale Consolidated MSA, consisting of the Miami Primary MSA (Dade County) and the Fort Lauderdale Primary MSA (Broward County).[12]In 2003, the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach MSA was merged with the consolidated MSA to form the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Miami Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area, consisting of: the Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deefield Beach Metropolitan Division (Broward County), the Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall Metropolitan Division (Miami-Dade County), and the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach Metropolitan Division (Palm Beach County).[13]

Miami-Port Saint Lucie-Fort Lauderdale Combined Statistical Area

[edit]

The Census Bureau also defines a wider commercial region based on commuting patterns, theMiami-Port Saint Lucie-Fort LauderdaleCombined Statistical Area (CSA), with a population of 6,887,655 in 2020.

As of 2023,the CSA consists of three component metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) and oneMicropolitan statistical area(μSA):

  • TheMiami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm BeachMSA (2020 pop. 6,138,333)
  • ThePort Saint LucieMSA (2020 pop. 486,660), consisting of:
  • TheSebastian-Vero Beach-West Vero CorridorMSA, coterminous withIndian River County(2020 pop. 159,788)
  • TheKey West-Key LargoμSA, coterminous withMonroe County(2020 pop. 82,874).
  • TheOkeechobeeμSA, coterminous withOkeechobee County.[14][11]

When the CSA was defined in 2013, it included the Okeechobee μSA, but not the Key West μSA. In 2018 the Okeechobee μSA was removed from the CSA and the Key West μSA was added. The Okeechobee μSA was re-added to the CSA in 2023.[15][16][14]

Gold Coast

[edit]

The Miami metropolitan area is frequently named the "Gold Coast" in convention withFlorida's other coast regions,including theSpace Coast,Treasure Coast,Sun Coast,Nature Coast,Forgotten Coast,Emerald Coast,Fun Coast,andFirst Coast.Like several of the others, it seems to have originated at the time the area first saw major growth. One of the best known of Florida's vernacular regions, the name is a reference to the wealth and ritzy tropical lifestyle that characterizes the area.[17][18]

Climate and geography

[edit]

Climate

[edit]

Biscayne National ParkinMiami-Dade Countyon 28 April 2005

South Florida/Miami metropolitan area has atropical climate,similar to the climate found in much of theCaribbean.It is the only metropolitan area in the48 contiguous statesthat falls under that category. More specifically, it generally has atropical monsoon climate(Köppen climate classification,Am).[19]The South Florida metropolis sees most of its rain in the summer (wet season) and is quite dry in the winter (dry season). The wet season, which is hot and humid, lasts from May to October, when daily thunderstorms and passing weak tropical lows bring downpours during the late afternoon. The dry season often starts in late October and runs through late April. During the height of the dry season from February through April, South Florida is often very dry, and often brush fires and water restrictions are an issue. At times cold fronts can make it all the way down to South Florida and provide some modest rainfall in the dry season. Thehurricane seasonlargely coincides with the wet season.[20]

In addition to its sea-level elevation, coastal location and position near theTropic of Cancerandthe Caribbean,the area owes its warm, humid climate to theGulf Stream,which moderates climate year-round. A typical summer day does not see temperatures below 75 °F (24 °C). Temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s (30–35 °C) accompanied by high humidity are often relieved by afternoonthunderstormsor asea breezethat develops off the Atlantic Ocean, which then allow lower temperatures, although conditions still remain very muggy.

During winter, dry air often dominates as dew points are often very low. Average daily high temperatures across South Florida during the winter are around 74–77 °F (23–25 °C). Although daily highs can sometimes reach 82–85 °F (28–29 °C) even in January and February. Daily low temperatures during the winter are generally around 55–63 °F (13–17 °C). Each winter, cold fronts occasionally make their way down to the northernBahamasandSouth Florida.As a result, daytime high temperatures in South Florida may only reach around 65 °F (18 °C) or cooler. When this occurs low temperatures can dip into the 40s during the early morning hours before quickly warming-up toward late morning/early afternoon. It is rare for temperatures to drop below 40 °F (4 °C), however, low temperatures at or around 35 °F (2 °C) have occurred some years. South Florida only experiences these cold spells about twice each winter and they typically only last a day or two before temperatures return to the mid 70s. On average South Florida is frost-free, although there can be a light frost in the inland communities about once every decade.

Hurricane seasonofficially runs from June 1 through November 30, although hurricanes can develop outside that period. The most likely time for South Florida to be hit is during the peak of theCape Verdeseason, mid-August through the end of September.[21]Due to its location between two major bodies of water known for tropical activity, South Florida is also statistically the most likely major area to be struck by a hurricane in the world, trailed closely byNassau, Bahamas,andHavana,Cuba. Many hurricanes have affected the metropolis, includingBetsyin 1965,Andrewin 1992,Irenein 1999, HurricanesKatrinaandWilmain 2005, andIrmain 2017. In addition, a tropical depression in October 2000 passed over the city, causing record rainfall and flooding. Locally, the storm is credited as theNo Name Storm of 2000,though the depression went on to become Tropical Storm Leslie upon entering the Atlantic Ocean.

Politics

[edit]
TheStephen P. Clark Government CenterinDowntown Miami,headquarters of many ofMiami-Dade County's government offices

Politically, metropolitan Miami is stronglyDemocratic,like most large metropolitan regions in the United States.Broward Countyis the second-most heavily Democratic county in the state,[73][74]behind onlyGadsden County,which is much smaller. This contrasts with most of the rest of Florida, whose heavier Southern influence and high population of elderly voters makes it aswingorRepublican-leaning state.Miami-Dade Countyhas a relatively high percentage of Republican voters for an urban county, due partially to itsCuban-Americanpopulation, which leans Republican as a result of its anti-communist views, but Miami-Dade County still remains very Democratic when compared with most ofFlorida's other counties.[75][76][77]Despite being more suburban and affluent,Palm Beach Countyis reliably Democratic as well and in the 2020 presidential election voted for Democratic candidateJoe Bidenby a higher margin than Miami-Dade County did.

In the 2016 presidential election, 62.3% of voters in the Miami metropolitan area voted Democratic. This was the 6th highest of any metro area in the United States.[78]However, in recent years the area has shifted hard to the Republicans, with former president Donald Trump losing the metro area by 16 points in2020compared to losing it by 30 in 2016 (Fueled especially by Miami Dade County shifting 22 points to the right between 2016 and 2020), and GovernorRon DeSantiswinning the metro area outright in the2022 gubernatorial election,winning both Miami Dade and Palm Beach Counties (With the former being won by double digits) while losing Broward only by less than 16 points.

Government

[edit]

Each one of the municipalities has its own city, town or village government, although there is no distinction between the 3 names.

Congressional districts

[edit]
Main article:Miami accent

InMiami-Dade Countya unique dialect, commonly called the Miami dialect, is widely spoken. The dialect developed among second- or third-generationHispanics,includingCuban-Americans,whose first language wasEnglish,though somenon-Hispanic white,black,andother raceswho were born and raised in Miami-Dade tend to adopt it as well.[85]It is based on a fairlystandard American accentbut with some changes very similar to dialects in theMid-Atlantic,especially theNew York area dialect,Northern New Jersey English,andNew York Latino English.UnlikeVirginia Piedmont,Coastal Southern American, and Northeast American dialects and Florida Cracker dialect of the Miami accent isrhotic;it also incorporates a rhythm and pronunciation heavily influenced bySpanishin which rhythm issyllable-timed.[86]

It is possible to differentiate the Miami accent from a variety ofinterlanguagesspoken by second-language speakers. The Miami accent does not generally displayadditionof/ɛ/before initial consonant clusters with/s/,speakers do not confuse of/dʒ/with/j/,(e.g.,Yalewithjail), and /r/ and /rr/ are pronounced asalveolar approximant[ɹ] instead ofalveolar tap[ɾ] oralveolar trill[r] in Spanish.[87][88][89][90]

The Miami accent is much less common inBroward CountyandPalm Beach County,where the majority of the population is non-Hispanic.[citation needed]

Port of Miami,the world's busiest cruise ship port, December 2007

The metropolis also has four seaports, the largest and most important being thePort of Miami.Others in the area includePort Everglades,Port of Palm Beachand theMiami RiverPort. On August 21, 2012, PortMiami and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed the Partnership Agreement (PPA) construction agreement that will allow the Deep Dredge project to go out for bid. The Deep Dredge will deepen the Port's existing channels to minus 50/52 feet to prepare for the Panama Canal expansion, now scheduled for completion in early 2015. PortMiami's deeper channel will provide ships with an economically efficient, reliable and safe navigational route into the Port. PortMiami will be the only U.S. Port south of Norfolk, Virginia to be at the minus 50 foot depth in sync with the opening of the expanded Canal. Deep Dredge is expected to create more than 30,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs in Florida and allow the Port to meet its goal to double its cargo traffic over the next decade.
