Reading this District of Columbia list
What the District of Columbia numbers actually show.
Population in District of Columbia is tightly clustered: the ten largest ZIP codes carry 73% of the 672,079 residents counted across all 57. Two centres share the load — 20002 and 20011 are within striking distance of each other — so there is no single reference point for the rest of the list. These are mostly very small areas — the median ZIP code counts 33 residents. Rankings at the bottom of this list are within each other's margin of error, so treat close positions as ties.
Housing is the defining pressure in District of Columbia. The median ZIP code here posts a home value of $725,000 against a household income of $111,110 — a price-to-income ratio of 6.5, well past the national 3.9. High local incomes do not close that gap. Median gross rent runs $2,097 including utilities, or about 23% of median household income annually.
Incomes fan out sharply inside District of Columbia. Strip the outliers and the top-decile ZIP code still earns 3.01× the bottom-decile one ($159,604 against $53,015); include them and 20015 tops the list at $250,001 and 20006 anchors the bottom at $36,019. A single "District of Columbia average" is averaging across two different economies.
Blanks dominate the small end of this list: 61% of District of Columbia's 57 ZIP codes — 35 rows — have at least one estimate the Census withheld for sample-size reasons. Treat the published subset as the usable dataset here, not as a complete census of the state.
Questions people ask
Specific to District of Columbia.
How many ZIP codes does District of Columbia have? 57 appear in the current federal tabulation. ZIP code tabulation areas are the Census approximation of postal ZIP codes, so the count differs slightly from the number of ZIPs the Postal Service delivers to in District of Columbia, and PO-box-only ZIPs have no area at all.
Which District of Columbia row should I compare mine against? Not the state median — it is pulled by the District of Columbia core. Compare against ZIP codes in the same population band, which for most of this list means the entries below the top ten.
How current is this? Every figure comes from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year release published by the US Census Bureau, ACS 2019-2023 5-year estimates. It reflects the full survey window rather than a single date, and it is the most recent vintage available for ZIP codes this small.
