Most of those Black people are leaving for suburbs within the Pittsburgh metro area. From 2010-2019, for every Black resident leaving the Pittsburgh metro area entirely, 4.6 Black people are only leaving the city but staying in greater Pittsburgh. This reality has sparked a debate among city leaders. For years, many housing advocates have cited gentrification as the main reason Black people are being forced out of the city, by rising rents and housing prices many can no longer afford. But recently, some elected officials have claimed that Black Pittsburghers are leaving the city by choice.
