How Miami Beach compares with nearby places
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 784 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Miami Beach [1], against 490 in 2015–2019 [2]. The table compares it with the places in Miami-Dade County that have the largest Asian Indian communities. Figures are for whole places, and some places extend into neighboring counties [1][2][4].
| Place | 2020–2024 | 2015–2019 | Change | Share of place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miami | 2,677 | 1,923 | 39% | 0.6% |
| Fountainebleau CDP | 955 | 504 | 89% | 1.7% |
| Miami Beach | 784 | 490 | 60% | 1.0% |
| Doral | 680 | 816 | -17% | 0.9% |
| Kendall CDP | 675 | 628 | 7% | 0.8% |
| The Hammocks CDP | 606 | 461 | 31% | 1.0% |
| South Miami Heights CDP | 473 | 412 | 15% | 1.2% |
| Cutler Bay | 452 | 162 | 179% | 1.0% |
Asian Indian alone or in any combination. Sources: ACS 5-year estimates [1][2][4]; totals from Table B01003. Change and share are our calculations. Estimates carry margins of error.
Growth of 60% is fast, but from a small base, and survey margins for a community this size are wide [1][2]. The community is about 1% of the city [1][3].
The most concentrated communities
Raw counts favor big cities. Ranking places of 20,000+ residents by the share who report Asian Indian ancestry gives a different map [1][2][3][4][5]:
| Place | Asian Indian residents | Total population | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami | 2,677 | 459,745 | 0.6% |
Places with 20,000+ residents and at least 1,000 Asian Indian residents. CDP = census-designated place. Sources: ACS 2020–2024 5-year, Tables B02018 and B01003 [1][2][3][4][5]; shares are our calculation.
What the HeyAlbert database shows in Miami Beach, Florida
HeyAlbert builds profiles of Indian-American individuals with an estimated net worth of $1M or more from public records, and every estimate is tied to a cited source. Our database currently places 104 such people in Miami Beach, Florida [6]. That is a count of people we have found and estimated, not a census of wealthy households: our coverage is partial and uneven.
| Estimated net-worth band | People in our database |
|---|---|
| $5M+ | 57 |
| $1M–5M | 47 |
| Total, $1M+ | 104 |
Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; $5M+ combines our $5–15M and $25M+ tiers. Cells under 25 are suppressed.
| City | $1M+ | of which $5M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Miami Beach | 104 | 57 |
Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Cities with 25+ people at $1M+; cells under 25 shown as <25. The city is where our sources place the person; for some records it is a workplace rather than a home. Our records are matched on the city name Miami Beach; the Census figures are for the whole place.
Of the 104 people in our Miami Beach set, 47 are in the $1M–5M band and 57 in our $5M+ bands, about 55% at the top (our calculation) [6]. Fewer than 25 have a public giving signal [6].
Why our Miami Beach, Florida count looks the way it does
Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence. The mix differs from place to place, depending on which records we have been able to process, and it shapes the counts above more than any real difference in wealth does [6].
| Primary evidence for the estimate | People | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay) | 57 | 55% |
| Home value (public assessor or listing records) | 47 | 45% |
Source: HeyAlbert database [6], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.
Other public signals, such as executive roles and company filings, support 57 estimates; home values support 47 [6]. The two halves line up with the two bands: property records tend to place people at $1M–5M, company signals higher.
What it means if you work with these families
For advisors, Miami Beach is a small, fast-growing community with a top-heavy profile in our data [1][2][6]. Our Miami, Miami-Dade and South Florida posts cover the rest of the county.
Methodology
Census figures are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024 and 2015–2019, Table B02018, using “Asian Indian, alone or in any combination” [1][2]. Total population comes from Table B01003 [3]. The Census Bureau changed how it codes detailed race responses in 2020, so part of the change between the two periods may reflect coding rather than migration. All estimates carry margins of error. Shares and growth rates are our calculations.
HeyAlbert counts are aggregates from our database as of November 2, 2026 [6]. They include people we identified as likely of Indian origin with an estimated net worth of $1M or more, based on public records such as property assessments, professional licenses, patents, SEC filings and donor rolls. Coverage is partial and depends on which public records exist and which we have processed. These counts are not population totals. Any cell under 25 is suppressed, and we publish aggregates only, never individual records.
