This study reviews data on population and household trends in Washington, D.C., to shed light on prospects for future growth in the city. It examines whether the data suggest that it is possible to increase the city's population and, if so, how that might be accomplished. Included are comments from two meetings of a working group convened as part of the strategic planning process to discuss prospects for attracting and retaining residents. Also included is a discussion of patterns of demographic change in the period 1990-1996 and the results of a survey on reasons for moves to and from the city.
