  It's been as high as 71.1% Black (in 1970). The percentage has been decreasing as Blacks have moved to the suburbs and Hispanics have moved into the city.

    Well, I would argue a large number of young white professionals have moved in to and are gentrifying many parts of DC.

      I agree that this is the bigger trend changing the demography of DC. Neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, Petworth, etc.
