Miami Gardens, FL

Earthquake hazard, typical weather and growing season from public federal data. Population 111,378.

Flood zone: it depends on the exact parcel

There is no such thing as a flood zone for a whole city. Two houses on the same street can sit in different zones, and it is the single fact here that changes most over a short distance. So this page does not guess one.

Earthquake hazard very-low

Design category A

Very low seismic hazard. Damaging earthquakes are rare at this location and design ground motions are minimal. Ordinary buildings carry essentially no special seismic-detailing requirement. The ASCE 7 Seismic Design Category here is A. (Short-period design value Ss ≈ 0.042 g — the standard headline measure of ground-shaking hazard.)

USGS Seismic Design Web Services (ASCE 7), assuming Site Class D — stiff or unknown soil. Real soil conditions can move the category either way.

This station records temperature and precipitation but not snowfall, so no snow column is shown. That is missing data, not a report of zero snow — Miami Gardens may well get plenty.

Growing season zone 11a

365 frost-free days

Heads up: the nearest station with a full 30-year record is PERRINE 4W, FL US, about 28 miles from here. Treat these as regional rather than local — terrain, elevation and water can change a lot in that distance.

Last spring frost around n/a, first fall frost around n/a. Roughly half of years see frost outside that window.
