Highland P.rk Initiated by the PITTSBURGH NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE INTRODUCTION The Pittsburgb Neighborhood. A1.1iance was formed in 1969 by a munber of neighborhood organizations that were concerned with improving the city's neigh­ borhoods and their relations with city government. The members of the .Alliance recognized that in order to negotiate effectively with city government about such maJor concerns as public service needs, capital improvements and transpor­ tation, it was necessary to obtain accurate, up-to-date intor.matlon about the neighborhoods. Unfortunately, this information was not available. To remedy this situation, the All.lance developed its Pittsburgh Neigh­ borhood Atlas project. First, the boundaries of the city's neighborhoods had to be determined. The Pittsburgh Neighborhood Atlas a.slted people attending cCllllIlWli ty meetings to nmne and describe the boundaries of the neighborhoods in which they lived.. This inf'onnation was usa provided by an Atlas-initiated survey. Responses fran every voting district of the city were analyzed to assure citizen involvement at the neighborhood level. Seventy-eight neighborhoods were thus identified, each made up of one or more whole voting districts in order to comply with provisions in Pittsburgh's home rule charter relating to the election 0'£ camnunity advisory boards. The Atlas then gathered a body of useful and up-to-date information for every neighborhood. It is the begirming of a neighborhood information systen that more closely reflects neighborhood boundaries as defined by residents in­ stead of by public officials. In the past, statistics about sections of the city have been based on information published for relatively large areas such as census tracts. For the atlas, much of the material. describing neighborhood characteristics came !'ran figures cc:mpll.ed for smaller areas: voting districts or census blocks. As a result, detailed information i8 now available tor neigh­ borhoods whose boundaries differ substantially :fran census tract boundaries. The information in this atlas provides an insight into current neighbor­ hood conditions and the direction in which the neighborhood is moving. The best indicators showing the health of the neighborhood are provided by citizen satis­ faction with the neighborhood, and changes in residential real estate transaction prices. Comparison of these statistics to those for the entire city provide a basis to begin understanding issues of neighborhood ItabUi ty. In the years to cane, a.a additional data are gathered for each of these indicators, trends will became more obvious. It is important to recognize that neighborhood challge is a camplex pro­ cess and that one indicator by itself may not be useful. Neighborhoods may be healthy regardl.esa of their l.evel of incane, and therefore inccme-related sta­ tistics ~ not be useful guides by themselves. Neighborhoods mu3t be viewed over time in terms of relative changes compared to the oity as a whole, and ~ analysis of neighborhood conditions must focus upon all of the data in order to provide a cauprebensive understanding. To l.earn about specific sections of the neighborhood, figures by indi­ vidual voting distriot or census tract may be obtained. Additional information on the neighborhood or the information cystem is available through the Center for Urban Research of the University of Pittsburgh, which has made an outstanding contribution to the development of this atlas. -1- NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION This atlas presents information ahout two Pittsburgh neighborhoods, Hazelwood and Glen Hazel Heights. Hazelwood, approximately 3.6 miles east of downtown, is made up of voting districts #10 to #17, Ward 15. I ts estimated area is 751.2 acres, containing 2.2% of the city's land and 1.170 of i ts 1974 population. Glen Hazel Heights, approximately 4.3 miles east of downtown, is made up of voting district #19, Ward 15. It has an estimated area of 241 .6 acres, containing 0.7% of the city's land and 0.2% of its 1974 population. In the following section, the findings of the Citizen Survey are pub­ lished separately for each neighborhood. The remaining sections of the atlas describe population and housing characteristics of Hazelwood only. Similar in­ formation for Glen Hazel Heights is omitted for much of it would be misleading or inaccurate due to major changes in the neighborhood since 19.70 resulting from the razing and reconstruction of the Glen Hazel Heights housing project (in progress) and the opening of a new apartment building for the elderly. (See Appendix for a listing of the neighborhoods' census tracts and additional information about resi­ dents of Glen Hazel Heights.) 1 "'/" I , //, -.... :. /; Wl: f .:. , ,;..:.- 14 . :"s. ~ ~............ ~ -~' :-~" ....,..;; / , " " , " '.,'; " I • -2- NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORY HAZELWOOD AND GLEN HAZEL HEIGHTS Hazelwood's name derives from the hazelnut trees which once covered its site along the Monongahela River. In 1784 John WLod, a prosperous lawyer whose father, George, was an early surveyor of Pittsburgh's environs, built an estate called "Hazel Hill" there. Over time, "wood" was substituted for IIHi11'1. Although the Hazelwood area had been surveyed in the post-Revolutionary period, it remained relatively undeveloped compared to the booming town of Pittsburgh down­ river. Large farms and estates were carved into the woodland areas along the Monon­ gahela, attracting numerous families of wealth to the region. This concentration of wealth brought its benefits to the entire area in the form of a wooden plank road - the first of its kind around Pittsburgh - built to bear the carriage traffic between the Point and Hazelwood. Industry inevitably followed. Hazelwood was strategically located between the Connellsville coal mines and the city of Pittsburgh. In 1861 Mr. B. F. Jones, of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad and later of Jones and Laughlin, built the first line of track through the area, bringing with it new residents and new jobs. Even with the railroad, Hazelwood retained its image of a tranquil place to live. Concerned citizens convinced Mr. Jones to build his railroad inland from the river in order to retain the natural beauty of the river banks. In 1869 the area was sufficiently developed to warrant annexation to the Cit y of Pittsburgh as the old 23rd Ward. The decades between 1870 and 1910 marked a period of great expansion. The iron and steel industries, railroading, boatbuilding and the river trade provided the majority of jobs. In the 1870's Braddock's Field, connecting Hazelwood to the Point, was paved and renamed Second Avenue. By 1885, at the peak of its development. the first street car line came to the area. Wi th cottage industries growing into vast enterprises and more and more people crowding into the area in search of job opportunities, the wealthy residents began a mass exodus to the suburbs, leaving behind a social and political vacuum. The vacant places in the power structure were soon filled by an aspiring middle class, whi le many newly-arrived immigrants filled the ranks of the working class. Today, Hungarian and Italo-Americans predominate, although many Slovak, Carpatho-Rusin, Polish and Irish names can be found among residents. An influx of Blacks has added to this ethnic mix. Today the Jones and Laughlin mill dominates the Hazelwood area.

  • The Hazelwood Neighborhood, 2010
    The Hazelwood Neighborhood, 2010 Photo Credit: RIDC PROGRAM IN URBAN AND REGIONAL ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR SOCIAL AND URBAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FEBRUARY 2012 www.ucsur.pitt.edu Executive Summary Hazelwood is a City of Pittsburgh neighborhood of 5,033 residents (2010 Census) located along the northern shore of the Monongahela River, approximately four miles from Downtown Pittsburgh. The neighborhood developed over 100 years ago, shaped by several steel and coke-making plants located in and around the community. In recent decades, Hazelwood has lost its manufacturing base, experienced population decline, physical abandonment, and weak demand for housing. This report presents information on the current condition of the Hazelwood community across a broad range of indicators. In this report, data for Hazelwood includes the combined totals for both the Hazelwood and Glen Hazel neighborhoods as defined by the City of Pittsburgh. Hazelwood had disproportionately smaller shares of young adults (ages 20-34), when compared to the City of Pittsburgh. While the combined population was majority-white, the community had a larger share of African American population when compared to Pittsburgh. Nearly one in three households in the two neighborhoods contained a person under age 18 compared to 1 in 5 in the City, and the majority of these households were female-headed, with no husband present. Compared to the City of Pittsburgh, households in Hazelwood had lower incomes, and residents (especially children) were more- likely to be poor. A number of indicators included in this report strongly suggest Hazelwood’s housing market suffers from a lack of demand. Prices are extremely low (sales under $10,000 are common), the pace of sales trails the City, and low levels of mortgage originations and falling homeownership rates suggest that much of the market activity is being driven by investors through cash transactions.

    Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh Moving to Work Demonstration Year 6 (FY 2006) Annual Plan May 2006 Resubmission Keith Kinard, Executive Director 200 Ross Street, 9 th Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15219. 1.0 OVERVIEW: T HE HOUSING AUTHORITY CITY OF PITTSBURGH MOVING TO WORK DEMONSTRATION 2005 INTRODUCTION ………………..………………...….…………………………………………………………………………………… 1 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR FY 2006……………………………………………………………..….……………….. 2 Introduction – Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 will be another year of rapid and positive change for the Housing Authority City of Pittsburgh (HACP). During FY 2006, the HACP will continue the demolition of outmoded public housing units, construct new housing units, continue to plan the redevelopment of older HACP communities, make fundamental organizational improvements, expand homeownership opportunities for HACP residents and provide residents with expanded access to social services. Extension of the Moving to Work (MtW) Program In April 2005, the HACP requested and was granted an additional year (FY 2006) in the Moving to Work (MtW) program. The HACP is one of approximately 30 public housing authorities in the United States selected to participate in the MtW Program. MtW provides selected high-performing public housing authorities with additional regulatory flexibility to encourage creative approaches to providing improved housing and enhanced social services programs for public housing residents. The HACP’s 5-year MtW program was originally scheduled to end on December 31, 2005. The additional year in MtW granted to the HACP will allow the HACP to continue MtW innovations through FY 2006. These innovations allow the HACP a wider range of options in funding new construction and community redevelopment, the flexibility to restructure the HACP to be more efficient and more responsive to residents, and the ability to provide additional self-sufficiency and homeownership opportunities for HACP residents.

  • (Revised 7-2009) This Tax Book Has Been Prepared for Accountants, Tax
    (Revised 7-2009) This tax book has been prepared for accountants, tax preparers, attorneys and individuals to provide a summary of all taxes levied by the City of Pittsburgh and the School District of Pittsburgh. These taxes are collected by the City-School Treasurer who is also responsible for the discovery and collection of delinquent taxes. There are two categories into which one could place Pittsburgh’s taxes. One is the assessed, the other is self- assessed. The table of contents on page 4 shows each tax by category. For the assessed taxes, the City will compute the tax due based on information provided by Allegheny County. For self-assessed taxes, the City provides forms to be completed by the taxpayer or tax preparer. Forms will not be mailed unless the taxpayer has been properly registered. Payment in full is required at the time the tax return is filed. Modern sources of data retrieval and exchange make the detection of tax delinquency and underpayment easier. In order to avoid penalty and interest charges, taxpayers, their tax preparers and consultants must know how and when to properly file City and School District tax returns. For additional information and assistance, refer to the listed phone number for each tax type or visit our website at www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/finance. Tax forms, tax rates, Pittsburgh Code and zip code listings are all available on our website. GENERAL NOTES FOR SELF-ASSESSED TAXES It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to pay taxes when due. Failure to receive a form is never an excuse for a late payment.

As a hub for interdisciplinary research and collaboration, UCSUR promotes a research agenda focused on the social, economic and health issues most relevant to our society. UCSUR maintains a permanent research infrastructure available to faculty and the community with the capacity to: (1) conduct all types of survey research, including complex web surveys; (2) carry out regional econometric modeling; (3) analyze qualitative data using state‐of‐the‐art computer methods, including web‐based studies; (4) obtain, format, and analyze spatial data; (5) acquire, manage, and analyze large secondary and administrative data sets including Census data; and (6) design and carry out descriptive, evaluation, and intervention studies. UCSUR plays a critical role in the development of new research projects through consultation with faculty investigators. The long‐term goals of UCSUR fall into three broad domains: (1) provide state‐of‐the‐art research and support services for investigators interested in interdisciplinary research in the behavioral, social, and clinical sciences; (2) develop nationally recognized research programs within the Center in a few selected areas; and (3) support the teaching mission of the University through graduate student, post‐ doctoral, and junior faculty mentoring, teaching courses on research methods in the social sciences, and providing research internships to undergraduate and graduate students.
