On the
Downtown thread Cleveland and Pittsburgh were featured on pages 5 and 9, and here their numbers:
------------------------- 2020 ------ 2010 ------ 2000 ------ 1990 ---------------- Growth ---------------- Area --------- Density
Cleveland -------------- 13,338 ------ 9,471 ------ 6,312 ------ 4,561 ---- 40.8% ---- 50.0% --- 38.4% ----- 7.8 km² --- 1,705.6 inh./km²
Pittsburgh ------------- 15,497 ----- 13,101 ----- 12,195 ------ 9,739 ---- 18.3% ----- 7.4% --- 25.2% ----- 4.8 km² --- 3,225.2 inh./km²
I used 3 census tract for Cleveland and 5 for Pittsburgh. Downtown Cleveland is performing much better, although Pittsburgh's is denser.
