In response to all the amazing comments to this post<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some of the key sources we can relay that support the Census chart demonstrated above and showing that Ward 3 increased in Black residents while the rest of the city (except Wards 7 and 8) saw the startling displacement of longtime residents who identify as “Black-alone” on the 2020 US Census.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
First, going to OP’s index of all the sources regarding the 2020 census >> https:\/\/planning.dc.gov\/publication\/2020-census-information-and-data
<\/strong><\/a>
From the OP index and one table in, find this chart<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using the charts from OP, review the 2020 DC Census by Ward analysis provided by Blaine Stum, The Legislative Policy Advisor for the Office of Chairman Phil Mendelson :: https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/Blaine_Stum\/status\/1425885669113712651<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then below, find snapshots of the US Census website demonstrating the startling numbers of DC Black displacement which you can access here >> https:\/\/www.census.gov\/library\/visualizations\/interactive\/race-and-ethnicity-in-the-united-state-2010-and-2020-census.html<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nAlso to note among the Census data points is the racial wealth income gap,<\/strong> a stark reality for those living and working in D. See<\/em> the Washington Post Analysis<\/a>, Economy, “The black-white economic divide is as wide as it was in 1968, Economy” By Heather Long and Andrew Van Dam, dated June 4, 2020, “… [T]he gap between the finances of blacks and whites is still as wide in 2020 as it was in 1968, when a run of landmark civil rights legislation culminated in the Fair Housing Act in response to centuries of unequal treatment of African Americans in nearly every part of society and business.” <\/strong>https:\/\/archive.ph\/thnvI#selection-1621.0-1621.303<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Moreover, there are 40,000+ vacant housing units conservatively citywide and likely more now!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
(AOBA report 2019-2021 at p.13<\/a>). Imagine now, how and why the blue-ist city in the nation can define “Housing Affordability” as a housing unit affordable for an individual making 120K\/yr.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nIt is a preeminent policy failure that harms Black DC and increases displacement pressures each time you hear a developer, the Mayor, anyone say they are constructing “affordable housing.” See more here >> https:\/\/twitter.com\/dc4reality\/status\/1624111925494706177<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
