[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well that power point blows the myth of the babyboom out of the water.  Maybe in some areas it looks like it but city as a whole?  Down, way down.[/quote]

The "baby boom" kids aren't 5 years old yet. How many age 0-4 kids are about to hit the system I wonder?[/quote]

Well that, and let's be honest - how many low-income families have fled to PG and parts of Montgomery counties as more DC neighborhoods are gentrified?  My take is that these kids have been replaced with the kids of higher-income families that are buying expensive property in DC.[/quote]

The distribution is telling.  In the short term centrally located neighborhoods closer to downtown project modest growth while Wards 4, 5, 7, 8 show most of the losses.  The projected growth over the next decade is significant throughout much of DC.  that suggests more families with young children projected to stay in DC (Millenials starting families).  I think you're also seeing a trend of higher income families fanning out beyond where they've traditionally been clustered.[/quote]
