70-632: A flyover , or else merging into the traffic leaving SR 874 for the Snapper Creek Expressway, which then heads under the Kendall Drive–Don Shula Expressway flyover. The westbound lanes of SR 878, however, pass over SR 874's mainline, and are then given an exclusive carriageway beside the southbound lanes for 0.46 miles (0.74 km), before merging into SR 874 just north of the Kendall Drive overpass. Southbound motorists from

105-424: A CDP name "be one that is recognized and used in daily communication by the residents of the community" (not "a name developed solely for planning or other purposes") and recommend that a CDP's boundaries be mapped based on the geographic extent associated with inhabitants' regular use of the named place. There is no provision, however, that this name recognition be unanimous for all residents, or that all residents use

140-525: A female householder with no husband present, and 45.5% were non-families. 34.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.24 and the average family size was 2.95. In 2000, in the CDP, the population was spread out, with 18.2% under the age of 18, 11.1% from 18 to 24, 33.7% from 25 to 44, 23.2% from 45 to 64, and 13.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age

175-469: A four-lane-wide expressway through residential neighborhoods for the remainder of its length, generally lying 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of Kendall Drive. After approximately 0.4 miles (0.64 km), the Snapper Creek Expressway passes through the 87th Avenue toll gantry . It then meets Galloway Road (SR 973) shortly afterwards with a diamond interchange . The expressway then enters Glenvar Heights once it crosses SR 973 and remains in that district for

210-455: A population of at least 10,000. For the 1970 Census , the population threshold for "unincorporated places" in urbanized areas was reduced to 5,000. For the 1980 Census , the designation was changed to "census designated places" and the designation was made available for places inside urbanized areas in New England. For the 1990 Census , the population threshold for CDPs in urbanized areas

245-425: Is $ 0.50 with a SunPass transponder, or $ 1.00 via the toll-by-plate program. Each additional axle on a vehicle attracts an extra $ 0.25 via SunPass or $ 0.50 via toll-by-plate for each toll gantry passed. Planning by Dade County for a road named the "Snapper Creek Expressway" was underway as early as 1958, with a final completion date set as late as 1975. Funding for SR 878's construction was made available in 1971 by

280-512: Is bordered to the north by Coral Terrace , to the east by South Miami , to the southeast by Pinecrest , to the south by Kendall , to the west by Sunset and Olympia Heights , and to the northwest by Westchester . According to the United States Census Bureau , the CDP has a total area of 4.3 square miles (11 km), of which 4.1 square miles (11 km) are land and 0.2 square miles (0.52 km), or 4.63%, are water. As of

315-427: Is for southbound traffic; motorists heading north along US 1 are guided to SR 878 by signage along Southwest 67th Avenue and Southwest 80th Street. SR 878's tolls are entirely electronic : cash cannot be accepted along its length. Payment is done either via SunPass transponders or via toll-by-plate billing, the latter of which attracts a higher cost. Two toll gantries are located along the Snapper Creek Expressway,

350-692: Is in Glenvar Heights. St. Thomas the Apostle School of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami is in Glenvar Heights. Census-designated place CDPs have been used in each decennial census since 1980 as the counterparts of incorporated places , such as self-governing cities , towns , and villages , for the purposes of gathering and correlating statistical data. CDPs are populated areas that generally include one officially designated but currently unincorporated community, for which

385-643: The 1890 Census , in which the Census mixed unincorporated places with incorporated places in its products with "town" or "village" as its label. This made it confusing to determine which of the "towns" were or were not incorporated. The 1900 through 1930 Censuses did not report data for unincorporated places. For the 1940 Census , the Census Bureau compiled a separate report of unofficial, unincorporated communities of 500 or more people. The Census Bureau officially defined this category as "unincorporated places" in

420-455: The 1950 Census and used that term through the 1970 Census. For the 1950 Census, these types of places were identified only outside " urbanized areas ". In 1960 , the Census Bureau also identified unincorporated places inside urbanized areas (except in New England , whose political geography is based on the New England town , and is distinctly different from other areas of the U.S.), but with

455-545: The 2020 United States census , there were 20,786 people, 7,837 households, and 4,275 families residing in the CDP. As of the 2010 United States census , there were 16,898 people, 6,709 households, and 3,874 families residing in the CDP. As of the census of 2000, there were 16,243 people, 7,243 households, and 3,947 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 3,858.5 inhabitants per square mile (1,489.8/km). There were 7,591 housing units at an average density of 1,803.2 per square mile (696.2/km). The racial makeup of

490-653: The Dadeland district. The road is maintained and tolled by the Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX). SR 878's western terminus is integrated into the Don Shula Expressway's interchange with SR 94 (Kendall Drive) across the boundary of the Kendall and Sunset districts . Motorists entering the Don Shula Expressway northbound from Kendall Drive are given the option of continuing onto SR 874 via

525-742: The Florida Department of Transportation as part of plans to construct the Snapper Creek Expressway along with the South Dade Expressway (now known as the Don Shula Expressway) and the West Dade Expressway (now known as the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike ), with an expected completion date of early 1973. Construction was halted in 1974 due to money issued from county bonds for expressway building running out, and

560-478: The Snapper Creek Expressway , is a 2.7-mile (4.3 km) east–west controlled-access toll road south of Miami , Florida . The expressway is named for the nearby Snapper Creek which runs parallel to SR 878. It acts as a spur route of SR 874 (Don Shula Expressway), providing access to U.S. Route 1 (US 1) near South Miami and local access to the eastern Kendall area while bypassing

595-469: The poverty line , including 10.7% of those under age 18 and 11.8% of those age 65 or over. As of 2000, speakers of Spanish as a first language accounted for 60.96% of residents, while English made up 35.18%, French was at 1.01%, Arabic at 0.60%, and Portuguese consisted of 0.54% of the population. The Miami Metrorail Dadeland North station straddles the border of Glenvar Heights and Kendall CDPs. The Don Shula Expressway Toll Road makes up

630-464: The CDP is named, plus surrounding inhabited countryside of varying dimensions and, occasionally, other, smaller unincorporated communities as well. CDPs include small rural communities, edge cities , colonias located along the Mexico–United States border , and unincorporated resort and retirement communities and their environs. The boundaries of any CDP may change from decade to decade, and

665-448: The CDP was 87.71% White (37.9% were Non-Hispanic White ), 3.00% African American , 0.19% Native American , 2.91% Asian , 0.06% Pacific Islander , 3.42% from other races , and 2.72% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 55.46% of the population. As of 2000, there were 7,243 households, out of which 23.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 38.9% were married couples living together, 11.6% had

700-445: The Census Bureau considers some towns in New England states, New Jersey and New York as well as townships in some other states as MCDs, even though they are incorporated municipalities in those states. In such states, CDPs may be defined within such towns or spanning the boundaries of multiple towns. There are a number of reasons for the CDP designation: Snapper Creek Expressway State Road 878 ( SR 878 ), named

735-478: The Census Bureau may de-establish a CDP after a period of study, then re-establish it some decades later. Most unincorporated areas within the United States are not and have not been included in any CDP. The boundaries of a CDP have no legal status and may not always correspond with the local understanding of the area or community with the same name. However, criteria established for the 2010 census require that

770-402: The Don Shula Expressway wishing to exit to Kendall Drive merge into this carriageway before leaving for SR 94 with those vehicles originating from the Snapper Creek Expressway. There is no direct connection for southbound motorists on SR 874 to head east on SR 878; likewise, westbound motorists on SR 878 cannot head north along SR 874 directly. From here, SR 878 heads predominantly eastwards as

805-403: The Snapper Creek Expressway began on July 17, 2010. The move to toll the Snapper Creek Expressway angered local residents, but was tempered by MDX's move to investigate toll rebates. Initially, tolls were $ 0.25 for SunPass users, with a $ 0.15 surcharge for motorists using the toll-by-plate system. The toll-by-plate rate increased by ten cents on July 1, 2013, to $ 0.50 per toll gantry passed, while

840-644: The Snapper Creek Expressway. Immediately afterwards, SR 878 turns to the southeast and prepares to meet its eastern terminus at the South Dixie Highway (US 1) at a surface intersection 0.6 miles (0.97 km) later, passing under the Metrorail line and associated MetroPath just before doing so. Traffic heading south along US 1 from eastbound SR 878 moves into a slip lane , while that wishing to head north along US 1 enters it at an oblique angle, aided by traffic signals. The only access onto SR 878 westbound from US 1

875-484: The boundaries for CDPs. The PSAP was to be offered to county and municipal planning agencies during 2008. The boundaries of such places may be defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials, but are not fixed, and do not affect the status of local government or incorporation; the territories thus defined are strictly statistical entities. CDP boundaries may change from one census to the next to reflect changes in settlement patterns. Further, as statistical entities,

910-419: The boundaries of the CDP may not correspond with local understanding of the area with the same name. Recognized communities may be divided into two or more CDPs while on the other hand, two or more communities may be combined into one CDP. A CDP may also cover the unincorporated part of a named community, where the rest lies within an incorporated place. By defining an area as a CDP, that locality then appears in

945-588: The community for which the CDP is named for services provided therein. There is no mandatory correlation between CDP names or boundaries and those established for other human purposes, such as post office names or zones, political precincts, or school districts. The Census Bureau states that census-designated places are not considered incorporated places and that it includes only census-designated places in its city population list for Hawaii because that state has no incorporated cities. In addition, census city lists from 2007 included Arlington County, Virginia 's CDP in

980-425: The first between the Don Shula Expressway and Galloway Road, and the second between Galloway Road and Southwest 72nd Avenue. The relationship between the tolling points and interchanges along SR 878 and SR 874 is that all motorists are charged at least one toll for using the road; there are no "free sections". As of July 1, 2013, the cost for a two-axle vehicle to travel the entire length of the Snapper Creek Expressway

1015-543: The list with the incorporated places, but since 2010, only the Urban Honolulu CDP, Hawaii, representing the historic core of Honolulu, Hawaii , is shown in the city and town estimates. The Census Bureau reported data for some unincorporated places as early as the first census in 1790 (for example, Louisville, Kentucky , which was not legally incorporated in Kentucky until 1828), though usage continued to develop through

1050-533: The northeastern border of Glenvar Heights. Additionally, the Snapper Creek Expressway runs through Glenvar Heights in the south, intersecting with US Route 1 in the southeast corner of the CDP, and the Palmetto Expressway passes through the center of the neighborhood. Miami-Dade County Public Schools operates public schools. South Miami Middle School and South Miami K-8 Center are adjacent to, but not in, Glenvar Heights. South Miami Senior High School

1085-477: The rest of its duration. Just before passing over the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) without an interchange (approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Galloway Road), SR 878 meets its second and final toll gantry. About 0.3 miles (0.48 km) east of the Palmetto Expressway, SR 878 has a partial diamond interchange with Southwest 72nd Avenue, which only allows westbound entry to and eastbound exit from

1120-543: The road was left partially completed; however, $ 8 million in federal emergency funds was directed to completing the expressway in late 1977. The Snapper Creek Expressway, designated SR 878, finally opened in early 1980, with the Southwest 72nd Avenue interchange opening a few weeks later. No tolls were collected along SR 878, in line with the road's original plans, until MDX 's initial roll-out of open road tolling from late 2009 to mid-2010 on its road network. Tolling along

1155-457: The same category of census data as incorporated places. This distinguishes CDPs from other census classifications, such as minor civil divisions (MCDs), which are in a separate category. The population and demographics of the CDP are included in the data of county subdivisions containing the CDP. Generally, a CDP shall not be defined within the boundaries of what the Census Bureau regards to be an incorporated city, village or borough. However,

1190-415: Was 37 years. For every 100 females, there were 87.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 84.8 males. In 2000, the median income for a household in the CDP was $ 40,209, and the median income for a family was $ 53,279. Males had a median income of $ 35,867 versus $ 30,510 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $ 27,473. About 7.7% of families and 12.7% of the population were below

1225-477: Was reduced to 2,500. From 1950 through 1990, the Census Bureau specified other population requirements for unincorporated places or CDPs in Alaska , Puerto Rico , island areas, and Native American reservations . Minimum population criteria for CDPs were dropped with the 2000 Census . The Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) allows designated participants to review and suggest modifications to
