I should bookmark this thread for the next time I see whining here about Pittsburgh not being diverse.

Pittsburgh is reasonably diverse, and Allegheny County has pockets of diversity. It's the other six counties in the MSA that are lily-white.

Not that I've been looking.
That's because you don't live in an affluent area. As an economic group, Asians are top earners in the US. That's why all of the areas listed in the OP are the more affluent townships.

Not too surprised, well, maybe by the 10% number. But I see Asians in and around these areas regularly, probably more south Asian than east Asian but certainly both.

Also, while this wouldn't make a huge impact on the percentages, I wouldn't think, there was a pocket in the area of babies adopted from China. I think the Chinese government made that tougher recently. But presumably the parents (typically white/caucasian) would have noted these kids as Asian for the census.

Typically right about the surrounding counties though I always see Asians in Cranberry. This could be just shopping from the aforementioned areas of northern Allegheny or there could soon be a similarly notable population there.

Still looks like the Amish can't seem to find a foothold in the area.

I'm not surprised at all. Back in the 80's lived in an apartment complex off Banksville road that was heavily populated with Indians(dot, not feather). It was part of 3 apt complexes, the largest located in Scott along Greentree Rd.

Scott is Chartiers Valley, Mt. Lebo is Mt. Lebo. They don't merge with no one!

I fully expect various Asian populations in the area to gain in prominence in coming decades. Which is cool!

We have several towns that are 70% plus Hispanic,it's odd to see a thread about 10% population. I can't even find a form at the DMV in English anymore!

Just because this is where I chose to buy a house doesn't mean this is where I spend my time.
