The Washington Post reports that D.C.’s population rose by 9,583 this year — the largest gain in decades, and also the first time in decades that it has enjoyed net domestic in-migration from other U.S. jurisdictions.
Part of it has to be the city’s improvement in terms of crime, but 2009 somehow saw bigger gains than the recent land-rush years in D.C. neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Logan Circle, Columbia Heights, Southwest and Shaw.
Could it be because this is now where all of the jobs are — in the government?
