Campuses with Fall 2024 counts
College Navigator reports Fall 2024 enrollment of 54,723 at Florida International University, 11200 S.W. 8th Street, Miami, and 58,941 at Miami Dade College, 300 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami. Neither figure is an out-of-state share. FIU's residence fields were not used here. Send the driver to the campus on the order, not to the other school. See Florida International University and Miami Dade College.
Winter lanes are Census inflows
The plan groups Miami with Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach on the Southeast Florida snowbird page. That is not a snowbird count. According to Census migration data, ACS 2024 estimates that 50,661 people now in Florida had lived in New York a year earlier (margin of error 6,714), and 21,834 had lived in Massachusetts (margin of error 4,803). The plan's city-route file includes Boston to Miami and Atlanta to Miami. Massachusetts to Florida is one of those state lanes.
Hurricane dates
The National Hurricane Center says the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, peaking on September 10. Most activity, it says, falls between mid-August and mid-October. A watch can hold a truck even when the winter lane from New York is busy. Registration is on registering an out-of-state car in Florida.
