If we make a fair assumption that 90% of the 620K people in the MSA that aren't in the UA as of 2010 are NHW, then that would leave the Pittsburgh UA at about 79% NHW.
Trimming all of the exurban fat off of Pittsburgh doesn't move the needle a ton because, overall, it is a very NHW white place relative to other major urban centers, no matter how you slice it.
Pittsburgh is not the "whitest" major urban center in the nation because of Fayette or Armstrong or any other county, it's because it's the whitest major urban center in the nation.
As I said before, that is neither good nor bad, it just is.
