src: centroweb.hunter.cuny.edu

The Miami metropolitan area , also known as Greater Miami Area or South Florida , is the 73th largest metropolitan area in the world and the eighth largest metropolitan area in America Union. It's entirely in the southern US state of Florida. With 6,158,824 residents in 2017, the Miami metropolitan area is the most populous in Florida and the second largest in the southeastern United States.

The metropolitan area is defined by the Office of Management and Budget as Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL (MSA), which consists of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, a metropolitan statistical region used for statistical purposes by the US Census Bureau and other agencies. The land area is 6,137 square miles (15,890 km 2 ).

Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County are the first densely populated districts in Florida, and Miami-Dade, with 2,751,796 people by 2017, is the seventh most populous country in the United States. All three districts together have major cities including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, and Boca Raton. In addition to its relationship with the South Florida region, it is also partially identical to the area known collectively as the "Gold Coast".

The Census Bureau also defines a broader area based on travel patterns, Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Port St. Lucie, the Combined Statistics Area of ​​FL (CSA), also known as the Greater Miami Area, with an estimated population of 6,723,472 by 2016. This includes four additional districts of Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee.

Since the population of South Florida is largely confined to a plot of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades, the urban area of ​​Miami (ie, adjacent urban development area) is about 100 miles (160 km) long (north to south), but never more than 20 miles 32 km) wide, and in some areas only 5 miles (8.0 km) wide (east to west). Miami metropolitan statistics area is longer than other urban areas in the United States except for the New York metropolitan area. This is the eighth most heavily urban area in the United States at the 2000 census.

In the 2000 census, the urban area has a land area of ​​1,116 square miles (2,890 km 2 ), with a population of 4,919,036, for a population density of 4,407.4 per square mile (1,701.7 per square kilometer). Miami and Hialeah (the second largest city in the metropolitan area) have a population density of over 10,000 per square mile (over 3,800 per square kilometer). The Miami Urbanized Area is the fourth largest urban area in the United States at the 2010 census.

The Miami metropolitan area also includes several urban groups (UCs) at the 2000 Census that are not part of the Miami Urban Area. These are UC Belle Glade, population 24.218, area 20,717.433 square meters and population density 3027.6 per square mile; Key Biscayne UC, population 10,513, area 4,924,214 square meters and population density 5529.5 per square mile; Redland UC, population 3,936, area 10,586,212 square meters and population density of 963.0 per square mile; and West Jupiter UC, population 8,998, area 24,737,176 square meters and population density 942.1 per square mile.

Population

Harbor

Climate

South Florida has a tropical climate, the only major metropolitan area in the 48 contiguous states that fall into that category. More specifically, it generally has a tropical monsoon climate (climatic classification KÃÆ'¶ppen, Am ). The metropolitan city of South Florida sees most of the rain in the summer (rainy season) and is quite dry in winter (dry season). The rainy, hot and humid season, lasts from May to October, when daily thunderstorms and past the tropical lows bring heavy rain during the afternoon. The dry season often begins in late October and lasts until the end of April. During the peak of the dry season from February to April, southern Florida is often very dry, and frequent fires and water restrictions are a problem. Sometimes cold fronts can make all the way down to southern Florida and provide some simple rainfall in the dry season. The storm season mostly coincides with the rainy season.

In addition to the sea level elevation, location and coastal position just above the Tropic of Cancer, this area owes a warm, humid climate to the Gulf Stream, which becomes moderate throughout the climate year. A typical summer day does not see temperatures below 75 Â ° F (24 Â ° C). Temperatures in the high 80s up to the 90s (30-35 Â ° C) accompanied by high humidity are often released by afternoon thunderstorms or sea breezes that flourish from the Atlantic Ocean, which then allow for lower temperatures, although the conditions are still very moist. During the winter, dry air often dominates because the dew point is often very low. The highest daily average in South Florida in winter is around 75 - 77 F, although daily highs in low and even mid 80s are not uncommon. Minimum temperatures during the winter are generally in the mid-50s to about 60 ° F (10-15 ° C), sometimes into the 40s (7-9 ° C) and rarely below 40 ° F (5 Ã, Â ° C). The average coast of South Florida is free of frost, although there may be some ice fields every decade.

The storm season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can expand beyond that period. The most likely time for South Florida to be hit is during the peak of the Cape Verde season, mid-August to late September. Due to its location between two major water bodies known for its tropical activities, South Florida is also statistically the most likely region for the world's cyclone, trailed by Nassau, Bahamas and Havana, Cuba. Many hurricanes have affected the metropolis, including Betsy in 1965, Andrew in 1992, Irene in 1999, Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005, and Irma in 2017. In addition, the tropical depression in October 2000 passed through the city, causing record rainfall and floods. Locally, the storm is credited as the No Name Storm of 2000, although the depression then becomes Tropical Storm Leslie after entering the Atlantic Ocean.

Government

This big city is organized by 3 districts in the area. In total there are 107 municipalities or places joined in the metropolis. Each municipality has its own city, town or village government, although there is no difference between the 3 names.

Congress district
