You must be new here.

Half of the true native male population in Washington, DC is locked up in out of state jails. That alone can skew the numbers.

This is not news, OP. I was born in St. Louis. I've lived in the 703 for 45 years. I've met 11 people in my time here that are born/raised here.

I know it's not news........except the actual number. 7.6%

I've watched this place turn into the worlds largest train station for more years than I suspect most of the posters here have been alive.

I only have one question, will you be leaving soon?

Born in DC, raised here in northern VA.

Though I know many who were raised here, went away to school and work for a while and have come back to raise their own families.

No, I will not be leaving soon. I enjoy living in the 703. There's things I wish were different but, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
