Population Non-Hispanic White % by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Washington D.C. Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Washington D.C. metro area exhibits a stark east-west racial divide, with zip codes east and southeast of the District—including Prince George's County and parts of southern Maryland—showing non-Hispanic white percentages below 20%, while areas to the northwest and west, particularly in outer Loudoun County, western Fairfax, and the Frederick/upper Montgomery County corridor, frequently exceed 60-80%. The Virginia suburbs display a notable gradient, with diverse inner-ring communities around Tysons Corner and Alexandria transitioning to predominantly white exurban zip codes near Manassas and beyond. Within D.C. itself, a sharp contrast is visible between the predominantly non-white eastern quadrants and the whiter neighborhoods in the northwest, mirroring longstanding patterns of residential segregation along the Anacostia River divide.
