Current through Register Vol. 71, No. 49, December 6, 2024
Rule 10-A1506 - PROJECTIONS
1506.1

Based on land availability, planning policies, and regional growth trends, the Capitol Hill Planning Area is expected to see a modest increase in its population during the next 20 years. The number of households is projected to increase from 21,600 in 2005 to 25,400 in 2025, with an attendant 16 percent increase in population from 47,600 to about 55,200. Much of the growth is expected to consist of medium density mixed use development along H Street NE, consistent with the approved H Street Small Area Plan. Medium density mixed use development is also currently taking place around the Potomac Avenue Metro station. The land use pattern in most of the Planning Area is well established, however, with only limited opportunities for new development. Capitol Hill's population growth represents about seven percent of the total growth expected in the District of Columbia over the next 20 years. 1506.1

1506.2

The number of jobs is projected to increase from about 17,900 today to about 21,900 in 2025. Most of the increase is expected to take place on Reservation 13 and along H Street, as new retail and cultural uses locate on the revitalized corridor. Additional job growth may also take place on Pennsylvania Avenue; for example, a grocery store is currently under construction as part of the Jenkins Row mixed use project near Potomac Avenue. 1506.2
