Here's our roundup of must-read posts


Last week, the US Census Bureau dropped redistricting data from the 2020 census. What does this new info tell us about the region?  

Also, amidst the census data release, was a new census tract density map. The map uses new tract boundaries to offer a closer look at the region’s most populous areas. And it turns out when it comes to neighborhoods with the highest density, the region has a new champ. 

Metro may not be "back to normal" just yet, but it's getting closer, and the agency and has a bunch of service updates, changes, and improvements leading into Labor Day.

Meanwhile, some regional leaders are wondering if the Virginia Railway Express could grow its ridership beyond commuters and serve as something of a second Metro.

Lastly, in case you missed it, here's an update on GGWash's 2021 budget, and how you can help.
