A third of the city is actually White, and large parts of that are extremely rich...
Actually, in terms of land area the "white third" occupies, probably, about a half of DC. And of the "black" neighborhoods, quite a few are pretty middle class. The poor black neighborhoods are a well-defined chunk of the city. Of course, Anacostia is a nasty ghetto, but DC is not just Anacostia. I am pretty sure Maryland would be happy to get back Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan and quite a few other places
