The central natural identifier of Miami Township is the Great Miami River, flowing north to south through the western portion of the township.

These two transportation corridors meet at the hub of the township’s commercial district, which is easily identifiable as the home of the Dayton Mall.

General Trends & Census Information

Miami Township has nearly doubled its population over the last 50 years. The township experienced relatively rapid growth after 1980. This may be attributed in large part to the completion of Interstate 675, which placed Miami Township at the juncture of two major transportation corridors. The completion of the Dayton Mall around 1970 began the transformation of Miami Township’s east side from a relatively rural residential setting to its current urbanized commercial core. The 1980s and 1990s also saw significant expansion of the stock of multiple-family housing in Miami Township.

In 2009-2010 the Austin Center exit was completed which created additional growth and demand in Miami Township. This new intersection off I-75 created additional development lots and saw strong business growth.
