I saw an article back in 2013 that said the white population in PG county was going up for the first time since the 1970's. I wonder if this is still the case. I was at the new Laurel Town center and was surprised that around half the people I saw where white. Same situation last time I went to Watkins park. Personally I think it would be good if PG county became more diverse.

I think so yes. I am curious to see what the demographics of PG county will be in 15-20 years. I have a feeling they will be vastly different.

Low rates and inflation in RE will keep pushing people of all kinds to PG. Schools suck but... damn, my house is huge.

If current trends continue probably majority Hispanic. A relatively large number of immigrants from Africa, various nationalities, are also moving to the County.

I noticed a lot of my white friends had moved to Largo and Capitol Heights.

I'm Black and grew up in Bowie, and watched whites move away all my life.

Its hilarious to see things reverse. I no longer live in the county though as I like city life better.

Based on my observation, YES young whites are still moving into PG, but from what I have seen they tend to move out of the county a few years after having kids to send them to better school district.

Bowie, Laurel, Beltsville and parts of UM and Brandywine have had a white population due being near county lines. My brother purchased a townhome in Capitol Heights in the new subdivision near Addison Rd Metro Station. I was suprised to see a lot of white families in the neighborhood as well. I'm thinking its due to access to Metro Station. My question is, when they have families will they stay and enroll in private school b/c I dont think they will be attending Walker Mill MS and Central HS. I moved to Bowie and at the bus stop in my apartment community I see mostly Black, Hispanic kids at the stops for Bowie, Tasker MS, and Northview.

Ever since I moved into my neighborhood in Bowie (W Section), I've seen quite a few move in, with school age kids. Although I really don't think that's a change in that area of Bowie.

Makes sense for young people to move to Oxon Hill. We need more. Specially urban cyclists who cant afford d.c.
