Actually the 5000 sq mile area includes a good chunk of the Everglades. I'd say well over half of the area listed as Miami's metro in unihabited and uninhabitable (less than 30% of Miami-Dade's ~2000 sqmiles are inhabited for example). So the populated portion of Miami's metro is closer to 2000 sq miles than 5000 sqmiles.
