2023 marked the second consecutive year the District’s population increased.
“DC’s Comeback is underway, and you can see it in these numbers,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser. “In our Comeback Plan, we are clear: we are focused on keeping people in DC, bringing people to DC, and making sure that every neighborhood is a vibrant place for people to live, work, visit, and play. We are going to continue to attract great employers, to invest in housing and economic opportunity, and to prioritize our city’s greatest asset: our people.”
There are many reasons why this happened including more births than deaths, more people moving into the District from other states and countries as well as less people moving out of the area.
