Home to the city's storied neighborhoods -- Georgetown, Dupont Circle -- Northwest has long been the most affluent quadrant. But as DC has changed over the last 20 years, the others have siphoned off some of this cachet. Still, the majority of recognized neighborhoods are concentrated in NW, as you can see by the number of profiles UrbanTurf has written over the years (35).
