DMV is unique among Northeastern metroes in that it has almost no industrial heritage (outside Baltimore, but it's (non-Atlas) "redder" than Metro DC) meaning relatively few ethnic Whites and instead highly-educated government workers. DC is a placeless, neoliberal city.
Government employment also tends to attract a more diverse set of highly-educated professionals than the private sector. It's for that reason that D.C. is one of only two metroes in the whole country that has almost entirely Black, monolithically middle class suburbs (PG County, MD). The only other place in the country like this (I can think of) are parts of Metro Atlanta (most of DeKalb, Douglas County).
