This map was most likely done by a student but I still think it is very good. Pittsburgh is a very interesting city that has gone through a lot of demographic and physical changes in the past few decades. This map shows the population changes in all of the neighborhoods within the Pittsburgh city limits. The decrease in the Central Business District is no surprise to me because, well it is a business district. Not many people tend to live in those. Mount Washington is a bit surprising because it is a lovely neighborhood with a prime view of the city below. Oakland is another neighborhood that has changed over the years for an area that in the 1920s was mostly inhabited by low income immigrants. The only issue I have with the map is how the dashes to distinguish range and negative growth in the legend are confusing.
