The report is a comprehensive tool for entrepreneurs as a way to discover opportunities to start and expand their concepts in the District.

The purpose of the DC Neighborhood Profiles is to focus on the commercial corridors and entrepreneurs districts where, in many cases, neighborhoods adjacent to these corridors are used to identify specific nodes along the corridors. The Neighborhood Profiles are used by investors and local community based organizations to market their neighborhoods. WDCEP works with the Office of Planning, Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development and the Department of Small & Local Business Development to determine which commercial corridors and nodes to profile.
“Washington, D.C. has long been a hub of diversity, each neighborhood is a character in itself in the story of Washington, D.C.,” says WDCEP President and CEO Keith Sellars. “We are pleased to compile one feature from each corridor from the 2015 DC Neighborhood Profiles, providing 54 additional reasons to love Washington, DC. It’s nice to see how the DC neighborhood count has grown over the past decade. ”
Since 2001, WDCEP has been publishing the Neighborhood Profile report to encourage investment throughout the city. Click here to view a copy of the 2015 report.

Neighborhood Profiles
The purpose of the Neighborhood Profiles is to focus on the commercial corridors, business districts and the New Communities Initiative (NCI) in DC. In many cases, neighborhoods adjacent to these corridors are used to identify specific nodes along the corridors. The WDCEP works with the Office of Planning and Economic Development, the Office of Planning and the Department of Small & Local Business Development to determine which commercial corridors and nodes to profile. The WDCEP does not define boundaries of neighborhoods, but generally tries to identify points of interest within reasonable proximity of the center of commercial corridor.
