Coverage analysis
What 60 minutes covers in Miami.
Miami's drive-time geometry is shaped by a long, narrow coastal corridor squeezed between the Atlantic and the Everglades. Trade areas are inherently linear — north-south reach along I-95 and the Turnpike dominates, while east-west reach hits water or wetlands fast.
At 60 minutes, the Miami isochrone captures the metro-wide reach — a regional footprint where destination-category businesses draw from a wide geographic spread. Unlike a 400–1,200 km² circle, the real road-network polygon follows Miami's actual highway corridors, accounts for bridge and interchange chokepoints, and respects the natural and built barriers that force drivers to detour.
Best-fit categories at 60 minutes: Distribution center, regional franchise territory, e-commerce fulfillment, hospital system, workforce housing. The 60-minute isochrone is the standard input for regional territory design and logistics network planning.
The city-level population of 442,241 and a median household income of $44,268 give a sense of Miami's economic density, but the figure that matters for site selection is the population inside the polygon — not the city as a whole. That number shifts dramatically depending on whether you're drawing from a high-density urban core or a lower-density suburban corridor.
