Local leaders have previously highlighted an influx of new residents to Miami Beach during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this same period, Florida&#8217;s population increased by over 700,000 residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contributing factors to this ongoing decline include resident-unfriendly policies such as zoning changes that favor seasonal, second, and third homes. Additionally, rising property taxes have further fueled this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s failure to enact policies encouraging more full-time resident housing and tackle the ongoing mobility crisis have added to the challenges. There is a growing perception that the city is focused on projects connected to insiders, while neglecting socio-economic issues that affect the broader population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@bikewalkmb\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:url\" content=\"https:\/\/betterstreetsmb.com\/bsmb\/miami-beachs-population-continues-to-fall\/\">\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Miami Beach's Population Continues to Fall\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"As Florida's population grows, Miami Beach's continues to decline.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/betterstreetsmb.com\/bsmb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/twitter-card-population.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image:alt\" content=\"As Florida's population grows, Miami Beach's continues to decline.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/betterstreetsmb.com\/bsmb\/miami-beachs-population-continues-to-fall\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Miami Beach's Population Continues to Fall\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As Florida's population grows, Miami Beach's continues to decline.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/betterstreetsmb.com\/bsmb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/twitter-card-population.jpg\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Census Bureau released figures last month, showing a continued decline in Miami Beach&#8217;s population.
