That is why I have taken pictures in various Washington DC-area neighborhoods. The first was Anacostia, a black ghetto, the second was Silver Spring, a “third world melting pot.”
This final collection, on the Washington DC neighborhoods of Columbia Heights and Mount Pleasant, is the most representative. Its population is what American cities are most likely to look like in the coming decades, and what not a few, in such places as Chicago and Dallas, already look like. Racial breakdowns for neighborhoods rather than cities or counties are imprecise, but Columbia Heights is roughly 40.3 percent black, 27.8 percent white, 25.1 percent Hispanic, 4.8 percent Asian, and 2 percent mixed or “other.” Mount Pleasant is roughly 50 percent white, 25 percent Hispanic, 19 percent black, and 5.6 percent Asian.
The “neighborhood cluster” that includes both Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights along with two other similar neighborhoods is 38 percent black, 31 percent white, 27 percent Hispanic, and 4.4 percent Asian—with 25 percent of the population foreign-born.
