Day 8.5: District of Columbia

[minionofmidas]

There are a couple of Black Middle Class enclaves within the city proper I see, but nowhere near the Western part of the city.
Also, good to see that even in DC Whites vote less Democratic than Blacks.

Apparently the northeasternmost corner of the city has a median household income above $75,000 and votes over 90% Democratic.  Yikes.

Neighboring PG's county is similarly rich, further out in the suburbs, and votes 82% Democratic, so why are you surprised? One of the most interesting trends of the past 20 years is the extinction of the Black middle class Republican.

That's true.  However, are these areas predominately black?  The race map won't load for me.

Yes.

The sixty and seventy ones, basically.

The island of Manhattan trended Dem too. It's the 9/11 effect.
