Those overall rankings are based on a range of economic, workforce and entrepreneurship metrics, and shows each area\u2019s strong environment for women entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
For example, women-owned businesses in Miami account for 25.1% of all firms, placing it No. 8 in the rankings among large U.S. metros for this metric alone.<\/p>\n
Miami also stands out as a true startup powerhouse, something Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has alluded to in the past. The metro ranks No. 1 among large markets for business formation rate (4,031 per 100,000 residents) and No. 1 for self-employment (15.7%).<\/p>\n
These figures point to an exceptionally active entrepreneurial ecosystem where women are not just participating, they\u2019re launching businesses at the highest rates, the study reports.<\/p>\n
Median earnings for women in the Miami metro stand at $39,096 (the top five ranked cities all had median earnings of more than $45,000), supported by a women-to-men pay ratio of 80 cents on the dollar, one of the most equitable among the metros analyzed.<\/p>\n
Miami’s metro has experienced nearly 39% GDP growth since 2019 (ranking No. 8 among large metros for this metric), a sign of sustained economic expansion.<\/p>\n
Women-owned firms in the Miami metro collectively employ 229,133 workers (also No. 8 for this metric), highlighting their significant footprint and impact on the regional economy.<\/p>\n
Finally, while more than 35% of women hold a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher, Miami ranks No. 1 for its share of women with a bachelor\u2019s degree in business (23.4%).<\/p>\n
This concentration of business-focused education strengthens the local pipeline of founders, executives, and operators leading women-owned firms.<\/p>\n
