That bit in Medley is shoddy, but overall it's a nearly fully industrial area, so I'll keep the special light blue color made for fully/mostly non-residential areas (but I'll work on the description soon to better fit the new color).

Yeah, I agree. Making that entire area blue makes absolutely no sense.

Only in that both are heavily Cuban by even Miami standards and both basically started growing around the same time. West Hialeah is much more dense, more lower middle class and as a result probably has a little more crime. It's a fine place, plenty of potentially green pockets i'm sure I could point out in there and the northern lake section of Hialeah.

Tamiami and the area west is generally much more wealthy, less crime and just much quieter.

I don't think it's a bad place, and I don't think the northern section of Hialeah is bad either. I just think green is a little generous. The homes, while large, generally have that iron fence, paved front lawn, burglar barred windows thing going on, and property maintenance is hit and miss even though the homes are mostly brand new. It is a "decent" area, and while the incomes are above average, the look of the area is not. There are individual streets that could be light green, but if north Hialeah is blue, this area should be too. I agree that it's also a quiet area with minimal crime, and it's certainly not an outrageous decision to rate the area as light green.

The OP has done a great job with this map and balancing everyone's disagreements.

I second what CTR said. Hialeah should not be green.

[unclealbertt]

Nothing in Hialeah is green on the map. There's only The Estates neighborhood in Hialeah Gardens which a lot of people just blanket as West Hialeah. I think blue is fine for the area too, the area peaked in the late 90's. A lot of the area just south of the Palmetto and Miami Lakes can easily be light green, but I don't think it's a big deal.

I have a lot of old ties to this part of Dade, Hialeah is a fascinating place to say the least. It supposedly has morbid unemployment right now, but the commercial sector looks to be booming in that area right now.

While a fine area, and very reasonable; its statistics (like avg. home prices, avg. income, changes/trends on them, etc.) and overall aspect and safety is just about average (some things slightly below, some things slightly above average). Lastly, in comparison to most of the current average areas (colored blue - like Palmetto Estates, most of Westchester, the Ives Estates neighborhood, etc.) it's just as good if not slightly better - it would be mostly in the high-end of the blue color basically. But areas with the light green color are generally significantly better (like the Morningside area, parts of North Beach, a few areas of Doral, etc.), so in conclusion most probably I'll have to retain that area as blue.

About The Estates area in Hialeah Gardens, it is a tough call, it's also kind of borderline light green or blue, but overall it's more to the light green, I believe.

Although if more people can give their opinions of these two areas, it would be excellent to make the better final decision here.

Well, I declare this project to be the Final Edition. But further updates will still be made soon and in future to keep it proper and accurate, and everybody here can still give their input/opinions so to help on these updates to be made further down the line.
