Miami is cheaper than DC. Their citizens just happen to be poorer.

These are cities themselves, not metros. This thread is about metros. DC metro average is brought down by its relatively affordable suburbs.

Yeah I haven’t seen the data but isn’t Miami like a place filled with tourism and hospitality jobs rather than high income white collar jobs? Not surprising.

I’m 19 miles outside of DC, and my other half travels to Arlington. Her commute door to door is less than 40 minutes and we were able to get a nice 2700 square foot home in an excellent school district for less than 700k. Try doing that in NYC or LA. Ain’t gonna happen.

Again, kind of laugh when my DC friends talk about how expensive it is. They have no idea how difficult it is to live in other areas.

Also, the south FL metro is exploding in population. Lots of hedge funds and finance companies are relocating from the northeast and bringing their employees with them. There are a lot of poor Haitians but a lot of one percenters. The wealth gap in the Miami metro is huge.
