Abstract
Miami has a multicultural population in which Hispanics are a plurality (about 35%), and primarily Cuban (Metropolitan Dade County, 1983). Because Cubans who originally immigrated to other parts of the United States are constantly "trickling back" to settle in Dade County (Prohias & Casal, 1973), and Hispanic households tend to underreport in the Census, total figures are approximate, but 700,000 to 800,000 is a reasonable estimate of the Cuban population here.
