DC Leads Nation in Percentage of LGBT Residents

Posted on 24 February 2013

WASHINGTON, DC — According to a new Gallup poll, the nation’s capital has the country’s highest percentage of people who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT), with 10 percent of Beltway residents self-identifying in that group.

The poll of all 50 states and Washington, DC, shows that Hawaii is second on the list, with 5.1 percent, with California (4.0) and New York (3.8) also lead the pack. At the bottom is North Dakota, with 1.7 percent of residents calling themselves “LGBT.”

The poll—which the Gallup organization says is the largest single study of national LGBT population distribution on record—found that all of the states—although Washington, DC is not a state—fall within two percentage points of the nationwide average of 3.5 percent.
