The short answer

Tamiami is home to 49,752 people. Median household income is $78,353 a year and median rent is $1,939 a month, 29.7% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is moderate. The median home is valued at $482,100, about 6.2x annual median household income.

The story in Tamiami is how fast things are changing. Rent took 33.7% of the median income in the 2019 survey and 29.7% in 2024. In the 25 places most like it the share rose 0.4 points on average, so affordability held up better here. Also notable: 75% of renter households spend 30% or more of income on rent, a higher share than in 99% of places its size.

Tamiami in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 30% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 30% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases. On projected 2030 affordability, Tamiami does better than 9% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 75%.
