With an estimated population of 2.8 million people, Miami-Dade County is the most populous county in the southeastern United States and the seventh largest in the nation by population. Approximately 424 square miles (excluding bay and coastal water) of the County are within the urbanized area, while the total county area currently covers a total of 2,431 square miles, bound by Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Everglades National Park to the west, the Florida Keys to the south, and Broward County to the north.

Miami-Dade County is unique in its structure and has been recognized nationally for our dedication to
results-oriented and resilience-focused management and employs approximately 30,000 employees. The FY 2020-2 Adopted Budget is balanced at $9.052 billion. Many of our programs and services have received awards based on our service delivery planning and allocation of resources. The County has operated since 1957 under a unique metropolitan system of government known as a "two-tier federation” of government: city and county. We are, in effect, a regional government with certain powers effective throughout the entire county, including 34 municipalities located within the county, and a municipal government for the unincorporated area of the county.
