  • Anatomy of a Neighborhood: Homewood in the 21St Century, 2011
    ANATOMY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD: HOMEWOOD IN THE 21ST CENTURY March 2011 Project in support of the Homewood Children’s Village report: State of the Village, 2011 Program in Urban and Regional Analysis University Center for Social and Urban Research University of Pittsburgh 121 University Place Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Homewood Children’s Village University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work Center on Race and Social Problems Executive Summary The Urban and Regional Analysis program at the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) has been engaged in a number of projects involving Pittsburgh neighborhoods, with its Pittsburgh Neighborhood and Community Information System (PNCIS) serving as a valuable resource for these projects. Homewood is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s East End that has experienced tremendous change since the 1940s, as suburbanization, population loss and post-industrial restructuring of the Pittsburgh region have deeply affected this community. This report summarizes collaboration between UCSUR and the Homewood Children’s Village in 2010. Information from this study will also be part of the Homewood Children’s Village State of the Village (2011).1 Some prominent changes and trends analyzed in this report include: Homewood continues to lose population. Between 2000 and 2010, Homewood’s population dropped 30.6 percent, to 6,600 residents. In Homewood South and Homewood West, residents aged 65 and over make up nearly a third of the population. The average sales price for existing residential homes in Homewood was $9,060 in 2009, one-tenth the average price for a home in the City of Pittsburgh. This 2009 price represents a substantial loss of home equity from twenty years earlier, when the average home sold for over $22,000 in current (2010) dollars.
