Appellants’ statistical analysis shows that, as compared
to the District’s overall customer base, a disproportionate
percentage of the District’s Edwards Circle customers (i.e.,
heads of households) are: African Americans (38.9% to
2.9%), Native Americans (16.7% to 2.2%), and, as relevant
to both Peters and Peña, unmarried women with children
(89.0% to 34.3%). By comparison, 11.1% of Edwards Circle
customers are White, while 45.0% of the District’s customer
base is White. Using the proper comparison populations, we
see that the Security Deposit Policy disproportionately
impacted African Americans, Native Americans, and
households headed by unmarried women with children.
