Climate

Future heat (2050)

Thermometer reading (LOCA projection, ~2050). Humid coasts like Miami rarely hit a true 100°F — their danger is the humid-heat filter below.

Future humid heat (2050)

Dangerous humid-heat days (wet-bulb ≥77°F) projected for ~2050 — the “feels deadly” metric that dry-temperature counts miss.

Walkability

Natural-disaster risk

Composite hurricane / tornado / earthquake / wildfire / flood risk (FEMA National Risk Index-inspired, approx.).

Air quality

Days per year with AQI over 100 (EPA "unhealthy for sensitive groups" or worse), recent-years average.

Community politics

From 2024 presidential results in the city's county (approx.). "Mixed" = margin within ±5 points.
