What changed

Unemployment fell 0.5 percentage points over the 12 months ending July 2026, faster than 77% of similar-size cities.

Broader trend
Multi-year view: unemployment is about where it was in 2022 (2.6% then, 2.6% now), but the direction has turned: after bottoming near 1.9% in 2023 it has risen each year since. That recent climb is movement in the wrong direction.
Longer view
Unemployment fell about 0.4 percentage points a year from 2015 to 2025.

Compared against How peers are chosen →
What changed

SNAP fell 2.5 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 44.6% to 42.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 surveys.

Broader trend
41% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 21% moved the other way. Hialeah started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Cost burden fell 3.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 55.4% to 51.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp).

Broader trend
7% of similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 24% moved the other way. Hialeah started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
