Abstract: The D.C. Office of Planning funded the first State of Washington, D.C.'s Neighborhoods report in 2008 with the purpose of tracking and measuring major demographic, economic, social, and environmental indicators in the District’s wards and neighborhoods. In this second report, we have updated the original indicators with the most recent data available, as well as added new indicators that were not previously available. For instance, the environment chapter has the largest number of new indicators, such as access to transportation and healthy food, but we have also included indicators about foreclosure in the housing chapter, as it is now such a pressing national problem. When possible, we compare how the indicators have changed across the wards and neighborhoods between the time of the first report and the latest data available. The purpose of tracking indicators is to identify broad patterns and trends across the city’s neighborhoods. Understanding where neighborhoods have strengths or challenges can assist District agencies, nonprofits, and community member in strategizing and making informing decisions. The report is organized into nine subject . . .
