Is Tamiami a good place to live?
The weak point is cost of living: the typical home is worth about $482K, 6.3 years of the Miami metro’s $77K median household income. Its strongest is schools: its schools outperform 72% of the state's. It also does well on incomes: the median household earns $78K. All told, that adds up to a C+ overall and a rank of 303rd of 634 in Florida. On that grade it does better than 35% of U.S. towns. Hazard risk is weaker too (D): FEMA rates its natural-hazard risk higher than 80% of U.S. communities, with inland flooding at the top. Tamiami’s January low is 58°F, above both the Florida town median (51°F) and the median of U.S. towns (22°F).
