The U Street area has many Ethiopian restaurants. Many of them live in the north part of D.C. and in Silver Spring, MD. Ethiopians often work as taxi drivers (entire fleets are completely Ethiopian-owned), parking garage attendants, street vendors, and airport baggage handlers.
D.C. has a "Chinatown", however in recent years it's mostly just a trendy tourist area, with the Chinese population confined to a single apartment building of the elderly, who are probably bewildered by the huge throngs of tourists and revelers in their midst.
Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights have had large Hispanic populations ever since the 1960s (especially Central Americans). Nowadays, newly-arrived Hispanics often settle in the far distant suburbs to start with, without even going to D.C. proper. Many work in restaurants, hotels, as custodians, in construction, and landscaping work. Wheaton, Langley Park, Bladensburg, and parts of Virginia inside the Beltway are heavily Hispanic.
Asian immigrants tend to live in the suburbs, especially on the Virginia side of the river. The Jewish population is heavy in many parts of Montgomery County, MD and in northwest D.C.
The u street area has the highest concentration of Ethiopians.
I think that's businesses though. I don't think that many Ethiopians actually live near U street. Slowlane3 has already touched on where they typically live. Although I will say that Arlington still has its immigrant community. Although more and more are moving outside the Beltway.
There are African-Americans concentrated in southeast DC, particularly Anacostia and Congress Heights.
Actually black people are pretty much everywhere, we make up the majority of NE, SE and SW DC plus PG county. WE still make up the majority of some NW DC neighborhoods too.
