Abstract: As District Measured has noted, DC’s population has been at the same point twice in the past, most recently in the 1970s. However, DC is in a very different place than it was over 40 years ago. Not only have the city’s demographic profile and economic trajectory shifted dramatically, but where people live, and in what configurations, has changed as well. Over time, residential areas have shifted from downtown outward, households are smaller[1] (but more numerous), and the introduction of Metro has changed the transportation geography significantly. The Washington region has seen significant changes in population and density as well.
