There are two primay reasons why DC-Baltimore is meaningfully bluer than it's other Northeastern neighbors, and for that matter pretty much anywhere else:
First, the area is extremely well-educated, with I believe the greatest percentage of college-educated persons of any metro. Second, the area is not just extremely diverse, it particularly has a very high black population. This is important because instead of getting something like 80/20 returns from its diverse precincts, like in MoCo and Arly/Alexa, you also have large swaths of 95/5 precincts in DC, PG, and Baltimore.
