I take it DC/Maryland/NOVA are put together with NY/NJ/PA (the Census Bureau's Mid-Atlantic) because you don't want to place the former in the South and you want to separate the latter from New England. But the two "mid-Atlantics" seem very different to me. NY/NJ/PA are filled with working class white ethnics and ethnic enclaves and have much older housing stock. DC/MD/NOVA are filled with transplants, grew rapidly after WWII and is much "newer", there is no visible white ethnic presence, and while some say they're no longer "really" Southern they are historically Southern and feels like more of a transition from North to South.
