Miami-Dade County, not Miami Gardens
Miami-Dade County context, not Miami Gardens figures
These are Miami-Dade County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Miami Gardens measurements.

- Employment at those establishments, Miami-Dade County1,055,440
- Covered employment, Miami-Dade County1,257,569
- Average annual pay, Miami-Dade County$77,609

Every figure in this section is published for Miami-Dade County as a whole and is not a measurement of Miami Gardens. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions

How much SBA lending goes to Miami Gardens businesses?
85 7(a) approvals totalling $31.9 m, across 26 lenders, median approval $100,000, plus 35 504 approvals worth $42.8 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Miami Gardens, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Miami Gardens borrowers get paid back?
Of the 12 loans that have reached a final outcome, 9 were paid in full and 3 charged off, a charge off rate of 25.0 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Is Miami Gardens in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Miami Gardens appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as community 120345, carrying Community Rating System class 7, which is a premium discount for exceeding the programme minimum. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Miami Gardens figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Miami-Dade County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Miami Gardens.
Is zoning published for Miami Gardens?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
