These resources are useful in neighborhood efforts to identify community needs, trends, and strategies for progress. The information is a supplement to on-the-ground community knowledge. It becomes most powerful when combined with thoughtful public input.

These maps and data describe current or recent conditions. The true value in these resources is how we use them to make important decisions about identifying opportunities and strategies to improve each and every neighborhood.

The data describes what is. We need your help in visioning what can be.

This information is flexible and evolving. If there is something that is missing or inconsistent with your own experiences in your neighborhood, please let us know so that we can improve it.

On the PNCIS website, users can view online maps, create interactive maps relevant to specific neighborhoods, and download all of the information for closer scrutiny. It is easy to obtain your own password to use the PNCIS system: simply email pncis@pitt.edu or call 412-624-9177.

Markets: Market Value Analysis (MVA)
The Market Value Analysis (MVA) is a statistical tool that uses market data to classify geographic areas and produce a map of the varying market types within the City. Each color on the map represents one of seven distinct market types. Market types are designated according to clustering similar characteristics, including housing units, residential, sales prices, vacancy, percent commercial, new unit permits, code violations, foreclosures and section 8 rentals. Each unique neighborhood has different needs. The MVA is a tool to help clarify where different market types exist, and what strategies are most successful in each area, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all mentality when it comes to neighborhood revitalization. By working together to tailor investment strategies to the conditions of each market area, we can make great strides in improving each unique neighborhood.
