I'm confused by the 2009 numbers -- they don't add to anything close to 100%. ?

Hispanics can be of any race.

Anyone who lives in the city knows this.

Something is still wrong with the numbers. If hispanics are also counted as white or black, then in 2000 a full 10% of the population is missing. It is inconceivable that Asians fill the remainder.

Maybe some people didn't participate or didn't provide an answer for race on the census?

White persons, not Hispanic, 33.5%.

I did. There is a problem with the 2000 data. You can tie out the 2009 numbers to 100% but the 2000 numbers are 4% short.

There is undoubtedly a change, but I think that part of the change in the reported statistics is an error in the data plus an increase in the number of biracial respondents.

So what's your point OP? The city is still largely segregated by geography and class. Income and education disparities are more prononced than some developing countries.

While their are more white residents, nonwhites haven't gone very far over the line. Over the same time frame you could say the DC metro area has "really changed". Loudon, Arlington, PG and other counties are or will be majority nonwhite sooner than DC will become majority white.

202 doesn't exist in a vacuum. So what is the message OP is trying to send?

I really don't care what happens in Loudoun or PG counties. My post was about DC and DC only.

That migration into and out of DC (202 area code) results in migration into and out of VA and MD?
