US Census released American Community Survey, 2005-2009 data set that gives a snapshot of the American population. The Herald reported on the data for Miami-Dade and Broward.
Some interesting facts:

61 % Hispanics, 20 % Blacks, the rest being mostly white non-Hispanics.
Median family income : $39,000 – Blacks, $45,000 – Hispanics, $84,000 – White; $62,000 – US

Naomi Fisher interviewed by John Hood, of nbcmiami.com.
In addition to the” Weird” participants, what other Miami artists have you been keeping an eye on? That’s tough because I’m so psyched about all of the “Weird” participants! Clifton Childree is a perennial favorite. … Nicolas Lobo is doing a fascinating portrait of a former downstairs neighbor. … Adler Guerrier is like a sleuth. … Christy Gast has an aptitude for exploring nature that I share. … I wish I could partake in a Jason Hedges food performance every day. … Who else? Robert Chambers, Mette Tommerup, Bhakti Baxter. … Oh boy, instead of writing a book of names I’m going to suggest seeing the new show “New Work Miami 2010” at MAM. That covers many people I think are making interesting work.
