Despite the growth of Ft Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Miami is clearly the dominate (big) city in the metro currently. Similar to San Francisco which isn’t even the most populated in its metro.
These days Broward is being fed by an exudus of Hispanic wealth from Miami-Dade extending up I-75 into Broward's western suburbs which are now majority Hispanic.
