Interesting stats, however definitely seems to be cherrypicking. What is the unemployment in the other 5 cities at the top of the list? I also notice you left out Portland and Phoenix, though not sure Phoenix would help the bottom of the list out at all.

In addition, in DC, well over half of the unemployed live EOTR (W7=17% and W8=26% unemployed) so that kind of skews it a bit as well. In Columbus (the other city I am familiar with as I lived there for a year for grad school) no one actually lives downtown. In addition, sure there are jobs, it is one of the biggest call center locations in the country. Tons of $12/hour jobs.

Still, interesting analysis. Would have liked to see Cleveland and Jacksonville included in the top half. Would have balanced it out significantly.
