Washington, D.C., is close to losing its black majority for the first time since 1950.
According to the 2010 Census, 50% of Washington's 601,000 residents are black, while 34.8% are white.
Ten years ago, D.C. was 59.4% black and 27.8% white. The district has gained 50,000 white residents and lost 39,000 black residents in the past decade.
The last time D.C. did not have a black majority was 1950.

Overall, the district's population has grown by nearly 30,000 since 2000.
The new data show that increase was driven mostly by whites but also Hispanics — who can be of any race — Asians and multiracial people.
