This booklet is an attempt by the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning to present information, primarily from the United States Census of Population and Housing, for use by citizens and community groups. Unfortunately, census material is not perfect; it may not have all the info rmation that you need and it may not be in the most useful form for your purposes.

  • Social Services Activist Richard Garland Brings “Juice” to a New Program That Puts Ex-Cons on the Street to Stop Brutal Violence Before Lives Are Lost
    Social services activist Richard Garland brings “juice” to a new program that puts ex-cons on the street to stop brutal violence before lives are lost. By Jim Davidson Photography by Steve Mellon Adrienne Young offers a cherished image of her son, Javon, gunned down a decade ago in the last epidemic of street violence involving youth in Pittsburgh. Young went on to found Tree of Hope, a faith-based agency that serves families and children devastated by senseless killings. 13 The story is familiar now. A dispute over turf, money, girls, pride or next to nothing is replayed again and again on the streets of Pittsburgh — streets now marked with the ferocity, the violence, the tragedy that can bring down a neighborhood when young people have guns. ❖ Adrienne Young knows about it all too well. On a night just before Christmas 10 years ago, her 18-year-old son, Javon Thompson, an artist who had just finished his first semester at Carnegie Mellon University, was visiting a friend’s apartment in East Liberty. “He was successful. He had never done anything to anyone. He was an artist and writer — he was a great child,” Young says now. That night, Benjamin Wright, a robber dressed in gang colors, burst into the apartment and icily ordered Thompson to “say his last words.” Gunshots rang out, killing Thompson and wounding two others. Wright, who later confessed that he shot Thompson and robbed him for failing to show proper respect to his Bloods street gang, is serving a life sentence. ❖ But the carnage from the violence extends well beyond the victims and the shooter.

  • Moved to Lawrenceville, and a Survey of Those Having Moved Away
    Executive Summary This study was conducted to provide community leaders with an understanding of the factors driving recent change in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. Two surveys were conducted: a survey of those who have recently moved to Lawrenceville, and a survey of those having moved away. The mail surveys were conducted by the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) at the University of Pittsburgh in the summer of 2011. New resident survey About 60 percent of new residents moved from a different address in the City of Pittsburgh, with an additional 20 percent coming from a Pittsburgh suburb. The most- common origin communities included Lawrenceville and other nearby neighborhoods in the East End. New Lawrenceville residents also looked for housing in Bloomfield, Shadyside, Friendship, Squirrel Hill, the South Side, and Highland Park. The most-popular reasons for moving to Lawrenceville included the cost of living, convenience to work, school, friends, or family, and a walkable business district. Many new residents become exposed to the neighborhood through community events or neighborhood institutions. Upper Lawrenceville was viewed differently by survey respondents in comparison to Lower and Central Lawrenceville. Just under half of new residents included Upper Lawrenceville in their housing search. o Those who excluded Upper Lawrenceville expressed concerns over safety, blight, and the more-distant and isolated location o Those that included Upper Lawrenceville in their search did so due to its affordability and a perception of the neighborhood as up-and-coming. Former resident survey Nearly half of the former residents responding to the survey moved to a Pittsburgh suburb and one-third stayed in the City.

  • Earliest Settlements in the Fifteenth Ward of the City of the Indians
    188 Early Settlements in the Fifteenth Ward of Pittsburgh Earliest Settlements in the Fifteenth Ward of the City of Pittsburgh. The Indians were the first occupants and land owners in Western Pennsylvania. They left numerous signs of their presence in what is now the Fifteenth Ward of the cityof Pittsburgh. They had a well-travelled trail along the right bank of the Monongahela at a very early day, and it was over this trail that the French and Indians passed, when they went out from Fort Duquesne, in 1755, and at- tacked and defeated General Braddock and his troops at the Battle of the Monongahela. After the English occupation, this trail became the Braddock's Field public road, and as such is plainly marked on the map of Pittsburgh, in 1795. At the head of Mansion Street, Glenwood, was an an- cient burying ground of that aboriginal tribe known as the Mound Builders. It included several mounds, the largest being about fifteen feet inheight. Their tops were rounded, and the mounds, originally, were heaped with stones, it being the Indian custom to add more stones at each visit. In the seventies, when Second Avenue was paved through the Fifteenth Ward for the first time, James McKibben, who had the contract for grading this street, hauled stones for an entire winter from these old mounds, and used them for ballast. The enveloping cover of stones being removed, persons began exploring the mounds, searching for relics, and they were soon destroyed. No trace of them now re- mains. The cleared spots back in the woods near these mounds were known to the early white settlers as the "Old Fields." Fine forests originally covered this district.
