Few places in Miami lean as far toward renting, by any measure in this data, as Little Havana, where only 18.7% of households own, the lowest share among the 10 sectors, and 27,559 households rent against 6,346 that own. Downtown/Brickell next door has 30.5% owners, Coral Way 42.5%. Values sit slightly beneath the city: $488,000, 6% under Miami and 7th place, with rent at $1,490, which is 15% under. Allapattah, at $364,000, is lower still on value, while Downtown/Brickell asks $2,710 in rent. Older construction is the norm here, as it is across much of the surrounding area. Pre-1980 homes make up 66.7% of the stock, a figure almost level with Coral Way's 66.8%, and the typical building went up in 1967. Located right around the city's population centre, it is the renter-heavy, older core of Miami's housing, with 36,725 homes in all, and its large renting base stands apart from every neighbour named here.
