 View the latest issue of Miami-Dade County At a Glance. 
In this issue of At-a-Glance, we use new income estimates to examine changes in personal income in Miami-Dade between 2000 and 2008 and compare it to trends nationwide, statewide, and in similar sized areas.

The Department of Planning & Zoning has launched a new series of reports. They will cover a number of topics relevant to the Miami-Dade economy.  Unlike the At a Glance series, these reports will be more technical in nature.  Click here to read the newest report detailing the analysis of Miami-Dade County industries.

 Planning Research is launching another series of brief reports on recently released socio-economic data. The series entitled 'Data Flash',  provides a timely and succinct analysis of this information.
