Only 10 out of 90 Pittsburgh neighborhoods gained population according to the Census 2000 numbers.
"What was the best way for a Pittsburgh neighborhood to fight the city's population decline and actually add people during the 1990s?Simple: Pack hundreds of inmates or students on top of one another in new structures built to serve their unique needs, In a city that lost more than 35,000 people in a decade, as shown by Pittsburgh's April 1, 2000, census count of 334,563, it's hard to find many neighborhoods that gained population. Only 10 of 90 neighborhoods within the city limits grew, according to citywide numbers released Friday by the U.S. Census Bureau."
