Miami-Dade: half of one percent of residents, 539 people in our $1M+ set

Miami-Dade County has about 14,400 residents of Asian Indian descent, up about 9% from about 13,300 in the 2015–2019 survey [1][2]. That is about 0.5% of a county of 2.7 million [1][3].

The community is small and spread out, but our data there is not thin. Our database places 539 people in the county at an estimated $1M+, and 222 of them are in our $5M+ bands [8].

• 14,398 residents of Asian Indian descent (alone or in combination) in Miami-Dade County, Florida, 2020–2024 average [1], or 0.5% of the population [3].
• +8.5% versus the 2015–2019 estimate of 13,268 [1][2] (our calculation).
• 539 people in the HeyAlbert database placed in Miami-Dade County, Florida at an estimated $1M+, of whom 222 are in our $5M+ bands [8].

Where Miami-Dade County, Florida's Indian-American residents live, by place

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 14,398 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Miami-Dade County, Florida [1]. Miami is the largest community, with 19% of the county total [4]–[7] (our calculation).

Place	Asian Indian residents	Share of place
Miami	2,677	0.6%
Fountainebleau CDP	955	1.7%
Miami Beach	784	1.0%

Asian Indian alone or in any combination. Sources: ACS 5-year estimates [4]–[7]; totals from Table B01003. Change and share are our calculations. Estimates carry margins of error.

No place in the county has a large Asian Indian community. Miami has about 2,700 Asian Indian residents (0.6%), Fountainebleau about 1,000, Miami Beach about 800, and Doral and Kendall about 700 each [4]–[7]. Among places of 20,000 or more with at least 1,000 Asian Indian residents, Miami is the one that qualifies, at about 1% [4].

What the HeyAlbert database shows in Miami-Dade County, 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 539 such people in Miami-Dade County, Florida [8]. 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+	222
$1M–5M	317
Total, $1M+	539

Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. 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	207	88
Miami Beach	101	57
Pinecrest	51	<25
Sunny Isles Beach	50	<25
Coral Gables	49	<25

Source: HeyAlbert database [8]. 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. Cities in our database are matched by name to the Census places and townships in the county; a few that straddle a county line are counted whole, and large cities that extend well beyond the county are left out.

Miami has 207 people in our set, 88 of them at $5M+ [8]. Miami Beach has 101 (57 at $5M+) [8]. Pinecrest (51), Sunny Isles Beach (50) and Coral Gables (49) each have fewer than 25 at $5M+ [8]. Across the county, about 41% of our set is at $5M+ (our calculation) [8].

Why our Miami-Dade County, 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 [8].

Primary evidence for the estimate	People	Share
Home value (public assessor or listing records)	311	58%
Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay)	227	42%

Source: HeyAlbert database [8], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.

Home values support 311 of our 539 estimates and other public signals 227 [8]. The second group is made up of executive roles, company filings, gifts and pay [8]. Some of those records may place a person at a second home or a business address rather than a primary home [8].

What it means if you work with these families

For advisors and nonprofits, Miami-Dade is a place where our records find wealth without a large resident community: concentrated in Miami and Miami Beach, with smaller groups in Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach and Coral Gables [1][8]. 16 people in the set have a public giving signal [8].

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 October 31, 2026 [8]. 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.
