Woodland, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Woodland is a small residential and industrial neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C. Woodland lies in Washington's Ward 8, long the poorest and least developed of the city's wards. Like the neighborhoods around it, Woodland is almost exclusively African American.
Woodland is bounded by Ainger Place SE to the north, Alabama Avenue and Knox Place to the east, Hartford Street to the south, and Fort Stanton Park to the west.
A staggering death count of young men in this neighborhood rivals the death count of U.S. troops in Iraq, earning this neighborhood the nickname "Iraq."
