Background
The Miami Beach Public Area Cleanliness Index is an objective measurement of performance
ranging from 1.0 (Extremely Clean) to 6.0 (Extremely Dirty) and includes assessments of
litter/trash, garbage cans/dumpsters, organic material, and fecal matter (attachment A).The scale
used is as follows: 1.0 extremely clean, 2.0 clean, 3.0 somewhat clean, 4.0 somewhat dirty, 5.0
dirty and 6.0 extremely dirty. The results of the assessments are used to monitor the impacts of
recently implemented initiatives to target areas for future improvements and assure the quality of
services. Quarterly sample sizes are set to ensure no greater than a ± 5.0 percentage point
sampling error given the 95% confidence level for each of the public areas assessed.
The City tightened the target for the Citywide and area-specific cleanliness indicators from 2. 0 to
1.5 -the lower the score on the cleanliness index indicates a cleaner area. This target continues
to be the same to date. As important, the City also has a goal to ensure that 90 percent of
assessments score 2.0 or better, with awareness to seasonal fluctuations. The scores are
compared to the same quarter in prior years to account for seasonal variations.
Summary of the Cleanliness Assessment Resu_lts FY 25 Quarter 3
The Citywide Cleanliness Index score for FY 25 Quarter 3 is 1.60, positioning it about midway
between 1.0 (extremely clean) and 2.0 (clean). Additionally, 90% of all public area assessments
scored 2.0 or better. While there have been changes compared to both the previous quarter and
the same quarter in the previous fiscal year, overall performance remains strong, reflecting the
city's continued commitment to citywide cleanliness. During the quarter, a total of 9,060 unique
assessments were conducted throughout the city.
