Miracle Village (officially City of Refuge since 2014) is a community on Muck City Road, about three miles (4.8 km) east of Pahokee, Florida, that serves as a haven for registered sex offenders. It is located within one of the most isolated and poorest parts of Palm Beach County. The site was chosen because of its isolation given that the sex offender residence restrictions do not apply.
