Block Group Pop Point 2010 A Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset contains the geographic centers (centroids) of Miami-Dade's 2010 Census block groups along with detailed demographic breakdowns by race, ethnicity, and housing units. Block groups are the Census Bureau's neighborhood-level geographic units, typically containing 600-3,000 residents, making this data useful for understanding population distribution and diversity patterns across the county. Researchers, planners, and community advocates use this to analyze neighborhood demographics and target services to specific areas.
Why This Matters
- A nonprofit planning a health clinic in underserved neighborhoods uses this data to map demographic concentrations and identify where specific populations live
- A city planner analyzing gentrification trends compares this 2010 baseline data with current conditions to understand how neighborhood composition has shifted over time
- A real estate developer checking the demographic profile of a proposed project area to understand the community context and plan community benefits accordingly
