The Georgetown Household
GM was looking for something to write about last night, and he realized that when he was going through the most recent American Community Survey results from the Census last January, he forgot to focus on Georgetown household stats. So let’s remedy that!
There are 4,827 households in Georgetown (this excludes GU). Of those, 4,147 are occupied and 680 are vacant. They contain 10,315 people, so the average household holds 2.49 residents.
Over 65% of the housing structures were built before 1939. Unfortunately that’s the earliest category for this data, so it doesn’t say how many homes are 18th or 19th century structures. The next largest percentage of housing age is for the 1980s, when 11% of Georgetown housing structures were built. Continue reading

GM put his name on the list of three centers seven month before his daughter was even born. And despite having “priority” at two of those centers, he didn’t get off the waitlist until his daughter was nine months old.
But it’s about to get (slightly) easier to find day care in Georgetown. Bright Horizons is opening a new day care center in Georgetown this fall. It will be located at 1010 Wisconsin Ave. (just above K St.). Continue reading

Old Georgetown in Color: the Great Flood
This week in Old Georgetown in Color, GM returns to another old photo he’s shown before. It’s a photo of the Potomac waterfront after a flood. The photo at the Library of Congress merely says “Potomac flood, Georgetown, D.C.” [created between 1909 and 1923].
GM thinks, however, that this flood was from Feb. 1918. Check out this excerpt from a Washington Post article from 2/19/1918: Continue reading

Good morning Georgetown, here’s the latest:
- The photo above came from Tommy Wells’ Flickr stream. He clearly has no fear treading on his opponent’s turf!
- Just FYI: “Georgetown doesn’t have a big drug scene, but many students smoke pot recreationally.”
