Overlapping 5-year ACS windows (B25064), not asking rent. Census does not publish a rent series for each official neighborhood, so the line is the city place. The dashed mark is this area’s ACS 2024 median.

HUD treats 30% of income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed. Method.

Scores on this page stay inside Miami. Brickell Key is the official City of Miami neighborhood; other names are searches, not extra polygons. School ratings are not in this snapshot.

Treat them as directional. Police beats are not this map.
