D.C. Delegate disputes census
Figures released by the 2000 Census recently reveal that Washington, D.C. gained population in the last years of the 20th century-a major moment in the progression of a city that lost three times as many residents in the early 1990s as in the 1980s. Approximately 50,000 new residents came to the District-most of them in the last few years-the Census states.
