Current cases

How a place gets made

Six cases are singled out on the interactive map because each shows a different mechanism behind the detection's argument. A case is featured only when it rests on at least one official, plan or agency source, an independent source for any historical, financial or superlative claim, a date, a defined relationship or event, and a separation of completed from announced activity. Node size and centrality are computed from the dataset and are never adjusted for a case.

Hurricane Andrew

The reset that made the current place. Landfall near Homestead on 24 August 1992. 155 nodes on the map enter before that year and 216 from it onward; 23 nodes carry the Andrew flag because a source records their destruction and rebuilding. The recovery institutions, We Will Rebuild, the Homestead CRA, the speedway, the reserve base, the CRAs of Florida City and Naranja Lakes and the incorporations of Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay, all enter within thirteen years of the storm. Evidence rule: the damage figures come from the National Hurricane Center and Wikipedia and every rebuilt node cites its own institution or the press for the rebuilding. [T36] [T37]

The Transitway

The spine that changed what is reachable. Railroad right of way of 1904, abandoned by 1989, bought by the state in 1988, opened as a busway on 3 February 1997, extended in 2005 and 2007, rebuilt from 2021 and running bus rapid transit from 27 October 2025 with fourteen new stations. 16 stations are on the map, each connected to the community it serves, and 20 gathering places sit within 600 metres of one. Evidence rule: DTPW's own project pages, the FTA profile, the TCRP report and the press; the vote tally of August 2018 is reported by one press source and worded as reported. [R1] [R2] [R15] [R16] [R5]

Redland Market Village

The authentic non downtown. A family owned market on US 1 at SW 244th Street since 1987, 27 acres with a farmers market, an outdoor flea market, food trucks, a fish market and a nursery, at the intersection the SW 244 St station serves. On this dataset it carries 2 connections and no centrality, which is the point: the detection says people go there because it is the realest thing available, not because anything routes through it. Evidence rule: the market's own site for the year and the description; the county bus stop points for the station. [A1] [S1]

Downtown Homestead

The one place trying to be a centre. The 1913 town centre on Krome Avenue, a National Register district since 2007, rebuilt after Andrew by the Main Street programme from 1993 and the CRA from 1994, with the Seminole Theatre reopened in 2015, Homestead Station in 2019, the Cybrarium in 2021 and Losner Park rebuilt by 2022. It is the largest cluster of gathering places on the map, 15 within 600 metres of one another. Evidence rule: the National Register listing, the city and CRA documents and the press for each project. [G2] [G9] [G8]

The population series

The condition that is changing. The eight ZCTA series rises from 191,276 in the 2010 Census to 265,396 in the ACS 2020 to 2024 five year estimate; the largest increase between consecutive displayed series points is 23,391, between the 2010 Census and ACS 2011 to 2015, and the latest displayed step is 10,273. The 33032 and 33033 ZCTAs, Princeton, Naranja and Leisure City, carry most of the gain. Evidence rule: Census tables only, with the geography and the table stated on every node so the sum can be repeated. [P1] [P2] [P3] [P4] [P5] [P6] [P7] [P8] [P15]

The missing centre

A dispersed pattern, documented. South Dade has many documented destinations and one major historic gathering cluster in downtown Homestead. The mapped pattern is dispersed: 58 documented gathering places, 20 within 600 metres of a Transitway station, 2 clusters of three or more, and 24 standing alone. The map documents fragmentation and uneven concentration; the detection's argument about belonging remains an interpretation of that pattern. Evidence rule: the same dataset as every other case, every gathering place with a sourced year, an address and a documented link; a place missing from the map is a gap in the sources.

Status as of 11 September 2026

Observed and announced

Every project on the map, worded from the filing or report that gives its status. Observed status is what the sources record as having happened by the cutoff date; announced, approved, proposed or under construction activity has not been confirmed as delivered. The Homestead CRA, the Naranja Lakes CRA and the Rapid Transit Zone appear in the plans layer and are cited as public documents.
