The Office of Labor Market Research and information (OLMRI) calculated labor force data for Wards using the 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS) census share methodology to determine the District of Columbia Wards labor force data for years 2010 and forward. For years prior to 2010, the 2000 census share methodology was used to determine the Wards ratios.
Please note that 2020 – 2023 Ward data reflect the new zoned Wards.
