10. "What are DC's demographics?"

Sat Aug 18, 2018, 10:54 AM

Aug 2018

And that's only recently the case once whites started moving back into cities like D.C. (and here in Philly) where the white populations (percentages) have been increasing with gentrification.

D.C. was called "chocolate city" for a reason back in the day. Now they are calling it "chocolate chip city".

From the 2000 census -

Black - 343,312 (60%)
White - 176,101 (31%)

From the 1990 census (PDF) -

Black - 399,604 (58%)
White - 179,667 (33%)
