DC baby boom; white infants and toddlers biggest increase
MY Fox DC ^ | 10-21-2013

There's been a baby boom in Washington, D.C.

Census figures show the number of children younger than 5 has grown by almost twenty percent to 39,000 over the past 3 years.

The number of children ages 5 to 13 rose 7 percent.

The biggest increases came from white infants and toddlers, which are up 34 percent.

The rise is largely being attributed to new parents in their 30's and early 40's.

There were fewer kids 14 and older during that same time span, suggesting that some parents are moving out of the city when their children reach high school.

Those new baby’s parents were hired to be among the 16,000 new accountants and lawyers for the IRS. /s

“that some parents are moving out of the city when their children reach high school”

Please, no way would whites let their kids go to DC Public schools. Unless they can afford private school in DC, it’s not “some”, it’s ALL—starting in elementary or shortly thereafter when the progressive yuppies who thought it was hip to live downtown when they had no kids finally realize out how bad the schools are in DC.

Here in NJ they’d call this “gentrification” (and the unassimilated minorities would scream bloody murder).

Illegal alien anchor babies? (Mexicans count as “white”, right?)

Weren’t we told that complying with the census was would ensure proper districting etc and that the information would be confidential?

Why is the media now trolling through census data?

And why is procreation by white people deemed news?

More than likely, yes.
