PITTSBURGH — Niche, a Pittsburgh-based data company that analyses, ranks and reviews schools and neighborhoods throughout the country, has ranked the best Pittsburgh-area neighborhoods to live in for young professionals in 2021.
The company determined rankings by using U.S. Census data to find a given neighborhood’s average age and education levels. Niche also looked at other factors like bar and restaurant access, job opportunities and overall affordability when determining where to rank each neighborhood.
Downtown remained in the same No. 1 spot as last year, which Niche’s Senior PR Specialist Natalie Tsay attributes to the abundance of restaurants, coffee shops and general age of the neighborhood’s population as being among some of the key factors that influenced its rankings. She also took note of the Strip District’s ranking, which came in at No. 2 this year after previously being unranked.
“Obviously, being from Niche, our office being based in the Strip District was kind of a pleasant surprise to see it up there,” Tsay said. “And anecdotally, having friends who work for the company, or who have been thinking about moving toward the Strip District even though we’re not currently in the office, that was really cool to see.”
