Census shows US is diversifying, white population shrinking

Y’all seen housing in DC? There’s a reason for this. Million dollar homes are 1500 sqft and built in the 80’s. Ain’t nobody wanna pay for that. “I have a house in DC” is more of a status symbol than anything else.

Wife and I found a DC home in early April, closed in early May 2020. At the time we were our agents only clients, by the end of May she's juggling multiple.

When I read what happened to Georgetown and DC as a whole after the riots = nothing new under the Sun.

I worked at a small private university from about 2009 to 2013. Istill follow lots of them on social and lots are are early late 20's early 30's not married, no kids or even in relationships.

I'm 40 black, wife is 35 white. I have a 19 yr old from a previous relationship, wife has none. I don't see kids in our future.

“The share of the white population fell from 63.7% in 2010 to 57.8% in 2020, the lowest on record”

I feel like mixed race babies are pretty common… gonna be a whole lot of “others/2 or more races”

Yeah, my ex bought a house in DC when we were together so I went to all the viewings with her and the market is brazy. What neighborhood did you end up in thenewjs23 ?

These white numbers would be even lower if Hispanics didn't identify as white.

There's A LOT of that going on from looking at my state's numbers.
