The census data suggest that young adults are reshaping the region in ways not seen in generations. For example, in the District, which has been losing African Americans to the suburbs for decades, the census estimated the black population rose by 2,100 people last year. The biggest gains for blacks were in people ages 20 to 34 and older than 55. But the city gained so many whites, Asians and Hispanics in the same time frame — mostly in the same age groups — that African Americans slipped below the 50 percent mark in the District.

Hey, so, not that displacement of minorities isn’t a real thing that happens, and not that it isn’t a serious problem, but maybe we could acknowledge that the demographic changes happening in DC are actually more complicated than “white people are moving back in, pushing up rents and pushing non-white people out?”
