Married Couple (% of all Households) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Washington D.C.

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The highest concentration of married-couple households clusters in the upper Northwest neighborhoods, particularly around the Chevy Chase/Friendship Heights corridor where rates exceed 70%, while a single zip code in the southeastern portion of the city stands out with rates near 80%. In stark contrast, zip codes in the southeastern and far southwestern quadrants display the lowest married-couple household shares, generally falling below 25%, creating a pronounced northwest-to-southeast gradient across the District. The central core and downtown-adjacent zip codes occupy a middle range of roughly 30–40%, consistent with areas dominated by younger, single-person rental households.
