Block Group Low Moderate C Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps the geographic boundaries of census block groups in Miami-Dade County where at least 51% of residents fall into low-to-moderate income categories, based on 2000 Census data. It's primarily used to identify neighborhoods eligible for federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), which fund housing, economic development, and community service improvements. While the underlying Census data is from 2000, this remains a reference layer for understanding historically designated low-income areas in the county.
Why This Matters
- A nonprofit housing organization using this map to identify eligible neighborhoods for applying for federal grants to fund affordable housing rehabilitation programs.
- A city planner assessing which communities qualify for federal funding for infrastructure improvements and social services under CDBG requirements.
- A researcher or journalist analyzing patterns of economic need across Miami-Dade to understand long-term demographic trends and resource allocation.
