[constituency_baseline] District summary: The District of Columbia at-large congressional district encompasses the entirety of Washington, D.C., a city of approximately 681,000 residents. The capital city functions as both a municipality and a federal district, with Norton serving as its non-voting delegate since 1991. The district is majority-minority, with Black residents comprising 41.7% of the population, White residents 36.4%, and Hispanic residents 11.9%. With a median household income of $109,870 and a poverty rate of 15.4%, the city exhibits stark economic inequality despite a robust knowledge economy anchored by the federal government, higher education, and health care. The federal government and related professional services employ around a quarter of the workforce. Homeownership is low at 41.5%, and median property values are $737,100. The district is overwhelmingly Democratic, with D+85 partisan lean.
