Miami Gardens, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Miami Gardens city is a mid-size city in Florida, with 111,264 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #24 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 38.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Miami Gardens city earn a median of $60,979 a year, 22.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Miami Gardens city is valued at $337,200, 11.1% above the national figure and 10% above the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,709 a month, 21.6% above the national figure, or roughly $20,508 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
