Miami-Dade County, FL

For the selected direct-evidence ZIP records, Zillow's June 2026 ZORI—a typical observed asking-rent index—runs from $2,072 in 33135 to $3,237 in 33130. The $1,165 span around a $2,359.50 selected-set median is material relative to the county's $2,886 ZORI. The practical question is therefore not which label is “best,” but whether a specific unit's current ask and terms fit the household's budget, bedroom need, and timing; the index is a screening reference, not a quoted lease price.

The three rent references answer different questions. HUD sets a two-bedroom administrative Fair Market Rent of $2,333 in the displayed records, versus $2,436 for the county; it is not an asking-rent series. At the selected asking-rent endpoints, ZORI sits 38.7% above and 11.2% below that local HUD standard, respectively, a comparison of distinct measures rather than a blended market rent. Separately, ACS 2024 five-year ZCTA median gross rent ranges from $1,366 to $2,771, while the county estimate is $1,829. Those survey estimates describe a different evidence universe and should not be substituted for current Zillow asking-rent conditions.

ACS burden and vacancy add a separate trade-off screen. The share of renter households paying 30% or more of income for rent is 58.2% to 66.5% across the shown ZCTAs, compared with 64.4% countywide; vacancy ranges much more widely, from 1.9% to 34.5%, against a 10.9% county estimate. A low survey vacancy rate is not proof that no listing will be found, and a high rate is not a count of units being offered now. As a mechanical ZORI affordability check, 33125's $2,341 index implies $93,640 in annual income at a 30% rent share, versus its ACS median household income estimate of $44,979. This is a cross-source screen, not an observed household budget or burden result.

Coverage and geography limit how far these comparisons travel. The display contains 12 of 69 eligible direct-ZORI matches and covers 145,872 renter households, so it is a selected evidence set rather than a county inventory. For Miami-Dade, ZIP-series rent records are paired with Census ZCTA survey areas, whose tabulation boundaries do not precisely reproduce USPS delivery ZIP service areas. Although ZIPs can span counties, the HUD residential-address crosswalk assigns a ZIP to the county holding its largest residential share; every displayed record reports a 100.0% primary county share, but that assignment does not erase ZIP/ZCTA differences. Before acting on a candidate property, verify the live asking price, bedroom count, utilities, lease length, fees, deposit, availability date, and any eligibility or program restrictions.
