It's a little complicated... Hawking radiation establishes the minimum size of stable black hole in our universe. If the temperature of the event horizon is higher than the temperature of the CMB, than a black hole will lose mass by Hawking radiation, which raises is temperature further and so on. Using a knowledge of expansion of the universe (and thus the cooling of the CMB) plus the basic math of hawking radiation, you can pretty easilly calculate the minimum size of a black hole that you should see.
