How Tamiami compares. Among the 120 largest places in Florida, Tamiami is #81 by population, #107 for remote work (#1 = most), #106 for long commutes (#1 = fewest), #83 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Miami-Dade County, is #1 of 67 counties for average pay ($77,609).
Tamiami has 49,752 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.2% of the population of Florida. It covers 7 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 7,129 people per square mile. The median age is 48.1, 13% older than the state median (48.1 against 42.6). It is a census-designated place: a community the Census Bureau counts as a unit, without a city government of its own, so services such as police, roads and zoning usually come from the county.
The median gross rent is $1,939 a month (rent plus utilities), 16% above the state median ($1,939 against $1,669). Over a year that is 29.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $482,100, which is 6.2 times the median household income ($78,353); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 71.7% of households own their home, 6% above the state average (71.7% against 67.6%).
The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metropolitan area has 2,819,940 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $48,640 a year, 5% below the national median ($48,640 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (374,810 jobs, median $46,060); sales and related (304,600 jobs, median $38,380); food preparation and serving related (279,520 jobs, median $35,280). The area is most specialised in legal (1.9 times) and protective service (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($111,140) and computer and mathematical ($101,540). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Miami-Dade County was 1.9%. 63.2% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Miami-Dade County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 79.3% drive alone, 0.9% use public transit, 0.3% walk, 10.0% work from home. 27.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 50% above the state average (27.2% against 18.1%).
35.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 5% above the state share (35.7% against 34.1%). 68.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 211% above the state share (68.0% against 21.9%). The poverty rate is 11.6%, 8% below the state rate (11.6% against 12.6%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 84°F (28.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 66°F (19.0°C). About 1,257 mm (49 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (200 mm) and Jan the driest (38 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
