That is 28% of median household income — under the 30% HUD line. A household at this area’s median income ($116K) could “afford” about $2,906 a month at 30% of pay.
64% of households rent. Median home value is $572,525.
ACS 5-year median gross rent for Miami. Up 11% since 2014. Downtown is 37% above the 2018 city median.
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. CBD is the official City of Miami neighborhood; other names are searches, not extra polygons. School ratings are not in this snapshot. A neighbor on the schematic map is not a shared fence. Crime rates here come from a limited public heatmap sample (not a full MPD Part I year) mapped to violent and property categories. Treat them as directional. Police beats are not this map.

Straight answers from the numbers on this page.
Downtown shows more Part I than most of this Miami set (safety 0 vs city 57). MPD logged 8.0 violent and 29.0 property incidents per 1,000 residents — 37.0 combined. Visitors count in those numbers. This is not a judgment of who lives here.
ACS median rent is $2,749 — studios through large apartments mixed together. About 64% of households rent. Median home value is $572,525. Survey medians, not a listing you can message tonight.
Walk is 76 here vs 31 for the Miami set — a grocery run and a coffee on foot are realistic. Inside 800 meters: 5 groceries, 15 cafes, 8 transit stops, 3 parks. Not a Walk Score license.
There is more night and visitor traffic in the mix — not the quietest family default. Nearby school rating is thin in this dataset. Median age is 34. That rating is not your assigned campus.
0 typical weekday minutes to Downtown / Brickell. Not the app on your phone this hour. Other job centers are further down this page.
