  • 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.

  • 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.
