  • 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.

    CITY OF PITTSBURGH NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILES CENSUS 2010 SUMMARY FILE 1 (SF1) DATA PROGRAM IN URBAN AND REGIONAL ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR SOCIAL AND URBAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH JULY 2011 www.ucsur.pitt.edu About the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) The University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) was established in 1972 to serve as a resource for researchers and educators interested in the basic and applied social and behavioral sciences. 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.

  • Data Brief — Assessing Community Need Within the City of Pittsburgh
    DATA BRIEF: Assessing Community Need Within the City of Pittsburgh December 2015 In 2014, the Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS) published two reports about assessing need within suburban communities by using the Community Need Index, a DHS-developed tool designed to address the specific needs 1 1 Suburban Poverty: Assessing and circumstances of suburban residents. The reports — and Community Need Outside the Central City and Data Brief: the Community Need Index upon which they were based — Suburban Poverty: Assessing Community Need Outside the stimulated community discussion. Requests were made Central City — 2012 Update for similar data about City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods. This brief provides an overview of the methodology involved in developing the Pittsburgh Need Index as well as the results of applying the index to city neighborhoods. MODEL DESCRIPTION The Pittsburgh Need Index uses methodology similar to the Suburban Community Need Index, but is altered for urban tracts within the City of Pittsburgh. Insights were drawn from other research about community need — most notably a 2006 single-value index project by the 2 http://www.huduser.org/ U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development2 — as well as research and analysis from portal/publications/ the University of Pittsburgh’s University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) and the comm_index.pdf Local Initiatives Support Corporation’s (LISC) inventory of “core indicators.” The index variables and modifications from the original Suburban Community Need Index are outlined below: Variables/Methodology City Census tracts were ranked across each of the variables listed in Table 1, then averaged into a total ranking and divided into 10 approximately even tiers of need.

Out of the 50 largest metropolitan areas, Pittsburgh has a lower share of foreign residents than all cities except for Cincinnati. For a region that is losing people, in a time when much population growth is fueled by international immigration, we must make Pittsburgh a destination. It is possible for Midwestern cities to attract foreign immigration; Cleveland, Minneapolis, and St. Louis are similar to Pittsburgh in many ways but they have larger foreign communities. The dominant pattern of foreign immigration is the clustering of ethnic groups around certain neighborhoods. People tend to move to places where they feel comfortable. Certain communities serve as gateways, welcoming new migrants into a city. The existence and operation of these gateway communities can be a critical factor in making the city a destination for immigration. This report identifies Pittsburgh’s 1 gateway communities for several groups of immigrants. 1 This report focuses on the city of Pittsburgh because it accounts for 30% of the region’s foreign population compared to 14% of the total regional population. Nine of the ten census tracts in the metropolitan area with the largest foreign populations are located in the city of Pittsburgh. Future reports will examine foreign communities throughout the metropolitan area.
