Community Development Target Areas
The City of Miami is a compact microcosm of economic, social, and ethnic div= sity. Over 88% of its
residents come from minority backgrounds, with 65% Hispanic and 20% BI. •nomically, the City is
one of great contrasts. Though it serves as one of the nation's leading cen for tra . e, banking and
finance, it is considered the poorest city in the country. In addition to problems such as
unemployment, substandard housing, and illiteracy are widespread. oft' , namics create great
challenges for the City.
Given the scope and the severity of the problems found in an• the limited am +f resources
available to address these problems, the City has develo. a two tier-d approach to co
development which seeks to concentrate funding in to The t. t areas consist o ghborhood

Each NDZ has at least one Model Block. The exceptions are Model City and Overtown. These
communities have two Model Blocks. The following is a list of the NDZs. The Map at the end of this
chapter illustrates the locations of the Model Blocks within the NDZs.

Profile of NDZs
The following provides a brief profile of the NDZs, including information on demographics, household
income and housing. This information can be used a baseline indicator to track change in the NDZs over
time.
Demographics: Almost half (43%) of the City's youth live within the NDZs. Most are found in Little
Havana and Edison/ Little River/Little Haiti. Approximately 28% of the City's elderly population also lives
within the NDZs. The majority of these individuals reside in East Little Havana. These demographic
indicators demonstrate the need to provide youth and elderly services within the NDZs.
Education: It is estimated that 47.3% of the population in the City of Miami (25 years and over) do not
have a high school diploma. Within the NDZs the number increases to 61%.
East Little Havana were found to have the highest percentage of individual
ranging from 74% in Wynwood to 64% in Allapattah. These figures indj
attainment among the residents of the NDZs.

Income: Approximately % of the City of Miami's households make $12,000 or less per year. While this
is a large proportion of the City's households, the NDZs fair much worse. With the exception of Coconut
Grove, most of the households in the NDZs bring in an income of less than $12,000. Over 40% of the
households in East Little Havana, Model City, Overtown and Wynwood are in this category. In order to
reduce poverty in the NDZs and improve the quality of life of its residents, the earning potential of families
living within these communities needs to increase.

CDBG and HOPWA Target Areas
Although the City of Miami intends to concentrate funding within the NDZs and the Model Blocks, it is
important to note that there are a few community development programs which target a broader geographic
area. This includes activities funded by CDBG and HOPWA. Funding for CDBG activities are divided
among the City's five Commission Districts based on the HUD formula allocation. As such, public service
needs and other CDBG funded activities are generally determined by Commission District. These activities
include social services for the elderly and the disabled and economic development programs.
The HOPWA program targets the entire geographic area of Miami -Dade County. The goal and intent of the
local HOPWA Program is to ensure that a continuum of housing options and related housing services is
available to low income persons with HIV/AIDS and their families.

Educational Attainment: Approximately 47.3% of the population in the City of Miami (25 years and
over) do not have a high school diploma. Of these individuals, 30% have a 9th grade education or less.
Among the Commission Districts, it was found that the greatest number of individuals with less than a 9's
grade education were concentrated in Districts 3, 1, and 4. These figures indicate the critical need to
increase the educational attainment among City of Miami residents.

Employment: According to the 2000 Census, only 50.3% of the population in the City of Miami is in the
labor force. This is considered the lowest labor force participation rate in the nation. The average among
large cities is 63%. When comparing this data at the Commission District level, it appears that the only
district that comes close to the national average is District 1, with a labor force participation of 59%.
District 5 has the lowest labor force participation in the City. Only 44% of the working age adults in this
District are in the labor force. This means that 66% of the potential labor force in District 5 is not actively
seeking employment.
