How We Determined The Wealthiest Neighborhoods In Pittsburgh For 2024
Every city has its best neighborhoods — where everyone wants to live — and the worst neighborhoods — where no one wants to live. And then you have the wealthiest neighborhoods, where no one can afford to live.
And by no one, we mean you because there’s always someone richer than you.
How do you quantify richer than you? We looked at one simple criterion:
Which neighborhoods have the highest median income?
Using Saturday Night Science, we researched income data from the Census and BLS for every neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
We ranked every neighborhood in Pittsburgh by median income from highest to lowest. The neighborhood with the highest median income, Strip District, was named the wealthiest neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
The richest neighborhoods in Pittsburgh are Strip District, Point Breeze, Squirrel Hill North, Highland Park, Central Business District, Regent Square, Allegheny West, North Shore, Lower Lawrenceville, and Herrs Island.
The poorest neighborhood? That would be Glen Hazel.
The poorest neighborhoods in Pittsburgh are Glen Hazel, Northview Heights, Terrace Village, East Hills, and Bedford Dwellings.
We updated this article for 2024. This is our tenth time ranking the most affluent neighborhoods to live in Pittsburgh.
