Update: GM’s enthusiasm got a little ahead of him. The boom is probably more a result of reporting changes. Read more here.
Yesterday, the U.S. Census released the results for the 2010 Census for D.C. While many immediately focused on the city-wide numbers and how they reflect rapidly changing demographics, GM dove into the neighborhood numbers. And what he found was absolutely astounding. Since 2000, Georgetown’s population has boomed.
Specifically, since 2000 Georgetown has added a whopping 1,791 net new residents. That brings the total number of Georgetown residents to 10,315, an increase of 21.01%. Ward 2 grew the most of all the wards, and even that was only at a 16% pace. That means Georgetown was likely one of the fastest, if not the fastest, growing neighborhoods in Ward 2.
And where did this growth occur? By a long, long shot it was on the lower west side of Georgetown. Check out this map:
