Miami-Dade in the region
 
 

Miami-Dade County is the most populous county in Florida, with over 2.7 million residents in 2017, a 10.2% increase since 2010. With limited geographic growth potential in the County due to the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Florida Everglades to the west, the expected growth in Miami-Dade County’s population and employment presents both opportunities and challenges.
