[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a magnet for gay men and childless cat women. Explains everything about the city. [/quote]

Also young, single professionals getting their law and govenment service creds, then moving away before marriage (hill staffers, law associates). This is the fastest growing single household dempgrpahic due to people in this generation getting married later, but earning enoug to not live with parents.
Also low divorce rates, but each resulting in two single households, often with one in the family home and the other in a nearby apartment. Even with a low rate, in a small city that doubling of households has impact in this statistic.
Also 20 colleges in a city with a population of 700,000, means lots of college students in off campus housing also count disproportionately in OP's figure.
And a high tendency for elderly to age in place, even after widowed. Over 11% of the population is 65+, with over half (56.7%) living alone, and 65.5% are homeowners.[/quote]
