There are various mapping projects that can help answer your question. This is one: http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/7220/maps-show-racial-divides-in-greater-washington/
Here's another: http://datatools.urban.org/features/OurChangingCity/demographics/#race This New York Times tool is also pretty good, although you have to fidget with it a little to get it zoomed in - http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/map To answer your question, though, the answer appears to be Ward 8 and Chevy Chase. |

PP, least diverse does not necessarily mean majority white.
There are plenty of neighborhoods in the DC area and Maryland that are far less diverse than many of the neighborhoods you posted, just in reverse. Your list is not accurate because it did not show the least diverse neighborhoods. It showed majority white neighborhoods (some as low as the 60% range that should not have been on your list). Your list left off many neighborhoods that are far less diverse. OP did not ask for the whitest neighborhoods. |

Thank you. Sheesh, other PP. |

Wow, Chevy Chase is pretty homogenous--in Section 5, there is literally not a single AA (0.0%). As an AA family who looked in Chevy Chase but ended up recently buying in NW DC, that would've been an interesting experience being the only black family there, to say the least! |

Why? Chevy Chase is very liberal, they aren't going to treat you differently. |

"Why? Chevy Chase is very liberal, they aren't going to treat you differently."
Sure, I don't know if we necessarily would be treated differently--I would just honestly feel really conspicuous. I'm sure a white family living in an all AA neighborhood would feel the same way. I like to blend in a bit more than that demographic breakdown would allow--at least 5-10% AA would be more desirable for our family. And indeed, there are several other nice MoCo neighborhoods that meet that threshold. |

I was just going to post this. There are some places in DC that are like 100% African-American. Not diverse at all. |

Your wrong, it's about education and wealthy not race #GetAClue |

Why is it when liberals segregate themselves into exclusively white neighborhoods you say it is about education or wealth? And when middlenor lower class families choose neighborhoods that are mostly white (and more diverse than the segregated liberal neighborhoods) you say it is racism? |

Are you telling a black person what it feels like to be black? You're the one who needs to get a clue. And a spelling lesson. |

| Even if your neighbors didn't discriminate against you or treat you differently, it could still feel really weird to be the "only" anything in a neighborhood. I wouldn't want to be the only white family on the block - I'd assume I'd probably get left out of stuff and the other families would be wondering what we were doing there. (I'd feel the same if it were all black, asian or hispanic families.) I think it's normal to want to see some people who look like you when you look around. (similarly, I wouldn't want to be the only female in my work department or the only working mom on a block of all SAHMs.) |
