[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which "Hill" are you talking about?  Cap Hill has been a gentrified neighborhood for decades.  The boundaries are just pushing farther away from the Historic District.[/quote]

Not exactly.  Dive into Ward 6 sub district National Census data for 1990, 2000 and 2010 for a sense of what gentrification has done to demographics.  The NE neighborhood north of Stanton Park and south of H has gone from around 20% white to nearly 60% in the last 25 years. Similar change for the blocks north of Lincoln Park.  The only area that was predominantly white when the Cluster was set up in the early 90s was in SE, close to the Capitol and around E. Market.

Interesting about SWS being so white for lack of PreS3.

25 years isn't long enough for you? I did say "decades"  -- as in the 80s to 90s forward.   This isn't really on point, but I think we can agree it's not just the demographics were not "mostly lower-middle-class until recently".

Without looking at the census data -- those numbers reflect what many have observed -- neighborhoods on and towards the north of Cap Hill have become whiter, and that trend has accelerated in the past decade.  You could substitute Columbia Heights, Bloomingdale or Petworth for the Hill on that point too.[/quote]
