The ‘Burgh by the numbers: Is there a con-Census?

The 2020 U.S. Census is out for Pittsburgh and it’s easy to misinterpret if you only look at headlines.

I recommend this excellent PublicSource analysis for the complete picture of Pittsburgh today. For example:

• While the city has 13.4% fewer Black residents – they still live in the region, just not the city.

•  The area has fewer children under 18 than in 2010, owing in part to the region’s growing college student population.

•  And the Asian and multiracial population, while still small, is up 47% in Pittsburgh.

That’s our story. What’s yours? Share it with us by writing our editor.
