[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not the PP, but as long as we're talking about data, remember that the DCC includes several areas that have appreciated in the last five years and where demographics are changing. Everything along the Red Line (TPES, PBES, ESSES, SPES, Woodlin, FSES, OTES and therefore TPMS, SSMIS, and Sligo MS) is trending more middle class, partially because middle class families are being pushed out of the District.[/quote]

I don't have time to search for this now but there is data that shows the DCC schools are getting poorer. Its trending down not up. The data is in the increasing percentage of enrolled children in FARMS. This number has exploded in the DCC.

I agree that prices have started to recover in the DCC as people are priced out of DC but the people competing for those houses are simply replacing pre-existing white couples/families. The high poverty is concentrated in the apartments and low income housing. The number of wealthy to middle class families number in MCPS also gets diluted as many opt for private school or are couples with no plans for kids. [/quote]
