Abstract
The Miami Affordability Project (MAP) is an interactive online map providing data on the distribution of affordable housing, housing needs, demographic profiles, and environmental resiliency in greater Miami. The intent is to provide an open-access tool for planners, developers, community groups, climate policy professionals, and scholars of urban issues to better understand local housing needs and encourage data-driven affordable housing planning and analysis.
This technical documentation is for the third phase of MAP and will be updated as we complete future releases of this tool with expanded functionality and additional and updated data. This most recent update expands on MAP’s affordable housing content to offer data showing the relationship between housing and sea-level rise projections in order to provide a more complete understanding of Miami’s built context and environmental challenges.
