As with  any  large metropolitan area  anywhere  in the world, the Greater Miami area has sections where I would not recommend passing through at night - either in a car or, worse yet, on foot. The rule of thumb for avoiding criminals in South Florida is “stick to the nice affluent neighborhoods, don’t go to the poorer sections of Miami-Dade County.” First, let’s be clear that when most people talk about Miami, they’re not just talking about the City of Miami itself (with its 400,000+ inhabitants), they’re actually referring to Miami-Dade County, which has a population of 2,693,117 or even the larger Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area, with its 6,000, 000+ inhabitants. I’m a native South Floridian, and I know that most of us think of Miami-Dade County as  Miami;  everything above the Dade-Broward line is  not  Miami.
