The South Florida metropolitan area
is an informal name for the
Miami–Fort Lauderdale–Miami Beach
metropolitan area. It encompasses a three
county
area of the southeastern part of the
U.S.
state of
Florida,
including
Miami-Dade,
Broward and
Palm Beach Counties. It is commonly referred to as simply South
Florida, and is roughly synonymous with the term
Gold Coast. It is the largest urbanized area in Florida and in the
Southern United States. Nearly two-thirds of South Florida's land
area is the
Florida Everglades, which are uninhabited by humans. When
excluding this uninhabited area, South Florida is one of the most
densely populated metropolitan areas in North America. At its widest
inhabitated point, from downtown Miami west to the everglades, the
region is only eleven miles wide.
Palm Beach County, Florida was added to the official Miami–Fort
Lauderdale metropolitan area for the first time in 2000, giving it a
considerable boost in population and in ranking among U.S.
metropolitan areas. As of July 1, 2005, the region's population is
estimated at 5,422,200 by the US Census Bureau;
[1]
making it the sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States. It
is currently the 45th-largest
metropolitan area in the world. It is also the largest
metropolitan area in the United States that lacks a city with at least
500,000 people (Miami has over 380,000). Each of the three counties of
the Metropolitan Statistical Area are their own Metropolitan
Divisions.
