1703. DEMOGRAPHICS

1703 DEMOGRAPHICS 1703.1 Basic demographic data for Far Northeast and Southeast is shown in Figure 17.2 In 2017, the area had a population of 83,906, or about 11.79 percent of the District’s total. The Planning Area has experienced moderate population growth since 2000, as compared to other areas in the District, and gained about 10,136 people. However, the Planning Area is expected to grow by more than 28,705 people by 2045. This trend may occur in the coming years as former public housing complexes are replaced by new single-family homes, townhomes, and multi-family dwellings as infill development takes place on vacant land. 1703.1 1703.2 Approximately 93.2 percent of the area’s residents were Black in 2017, which is significantly higher than the District-wide total of 47.7 percent. Only about 3.7 percent of the Planning Area’s residents were of Hispanic/Latino origin, and fewer than four percent were foreign born. Relative to the District, the area had higher percentages of children and older adults in 2017. More than 24 percent of the residents were under the age of 18, compared to a District-wide total of 17.6 percent. More than 13.7 percent were over the age of 65, compared to the Districtwide total of 11.9 percent. However, the percentage of the population under the age of 18 dropped by about four percent between 2000 and 2017, while the population between the ages of 18 and 65 increased by about the same percentage. 1703.2 1703.3 Figure 17.2: Far Northeast and Southeast at a Glance Basic Statistics and Projections 2000 2010 2017* 2025 2035 2045 Population 73,770 74,065 83,906 90,168 100,291 112,611 Households 30,681 31,178 32,965 37,279 40,880 45,933 Household Population 73,026 73,276 82,822 88,708 98,603 110,471 Persons Per Household 2.38 2.35 2.51 2.38 2.41 2.41 Jobs 12,297 5,856 8,135 9,986 14,490 19,698 Density (persons per sq mile) 8,888 8,923 10,109 10,864 12,083 13,568 Land Area (square miles) 8.3 8.3 8.3 8.3 8.3 8.3 2000 and 2017 Census Data Profile 2000 2017* Citywide 2017* Total Percentage Total Percentage Percentage Age Under 18 18-64 18-34 35-64 65 and over 20,230 43,442 15,332 28,110 10,098 27.4% 58.9% 20.8% 38.1% 13.7% 20,167 50,493 20,822 31,671 11,246 24.0% 62.6% 24.8% 37.7% 13.4% 17.6% 70.6% 34.6% 35.9% 11.9% Residents Below Poverty Level 18,233 24.7% 22,187 26.7% 17.4% Race Composition White Black Native American Asian/Pacific Islander Other Multi-Racial 957 71,231 201 216 362 821 1.3% 96.5% 0.3% 0.3% 0.5% 1.1% 1,966 78,218 163 467 2,007 1,085 2.3% 93.2% 0.2% 0.6% 2.4% 1.3% 40.7% 47.7% 0.3% 3.8% 4.6% 2.9% Hispanic Origin 636 0.9% 3,145 3.7% 10.7% Foreign-Born Residents 1,045 1.4% 3,065 3.7% 14.0% Tenure Owner Households Renter Households 12,416 18,242 40.5% 59.5% 12,103 20,862 36.7% 63.3% 41.7% 58.3% Housing Occupancy Occupied Units Vacant Units 30,658 4,452 87.3% 12.7% 32,965 4,501 88.0% 12.0% 90.2% 9.8% Housing by Unit Type 1-unit, detached 1-unit, attached 2-4 units 5-9 units 10-19 units 20 or more Mobile/other 6,257 9,782 5,032 5,374 5,921 2,711 33 17.8% 27.9% 14.3% 15.3% 16.9% 7.7% 0.1% 6,135 10,710 5,041 5,536 6,627 3,360 57 16.4% 28.6% 13.5% 14.8% 17.7% 9.0% 0.2% 11.9% 25.1% 10.3% 6.8% 10.5% 35.4% 0.1% * Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.
