City Overview
Miami is the international finance, trade and tourism gateway of the US Southeast — "the gateway to Latin America," with a strong Hispanic culture and widespread bilingualism. Finance, shipping, real estate, tech and conventions thrive, and it has recently become a rising tech and crypto-finance hub. No state income tax draws many companies and high-net-worth movers. Famed for beaches and nightlife; tropical, humid climate — Florida’s economic center and an international metro.
