Housing costs in Miami
The headline number is HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom, utilities included, taken as the median of 16 ZIP codes within 2 miles of downtown: the same circle the walkability score covers, so the rent and the walkability describe the same place. The metro-wide figure is HUD's rent for the whole Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL HUD Metro FMR Area, which is lower in most cities because it includes outlying areas. The Census figure is what current tenants pay inside the city limits.
