About the area

Car-DependentResidential / IndustrialModestHigh Alert

Southwest Opa-locka is a low-density urban area in northern Miami-Dade County characterized by modest single-family homes, duplexes, auto repair shops, and light industrial parcels. It sits just north of the Gratigny Parkway and southwest of Opa-locka's Moorish Revival historic center. The neighborhood has high community ties but faces persistent economic and municipal infrastructure challenges.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
