Companies

COMPANY Compiled company-reported figures Source: Wikipedia infoboxes (CC BY-SA) · Data: year shown per company

Companies whose headquarters Wikipedia places in a city of this region, with the headcount and revenue printed in their infobox and the year of each figure. Employees are global; revenue is the company's own reported revenue. Subsidiaries of another company in the list and companies whose infobox headquarters is outside the region are left out to avoid double counting, so well-known brands that are owned by a larger group do not appear on their own.

CITY Official statistics and model estimate Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year (via Census Reporter) · NASA POWER climatology · Data: ACS 2020–2024; climatology 2001–2025

Across the 21 cities of the region with ACS data, median rent runs from $1,605 in South Miami Heights to $2,669 in Doral, with a middle value of $1,826 a month. The median home value is above the ACS reporting ceiling of $2,000,000 in several cities (shown as $2,000,001), so the real figure there is higher. Median household income runs from $55,594 to $134,216.

Where you live changes your commute more than your salary: use the shares of workers who drive alone, take transit, or work from home. The July temperature is the average of the month (°F). Click a city for its full guide.
