    Where Pittsburgh's local businesses are most crowded

    We counted 16 kinds of storefront and office businesses per 1,000 households in 127 residential ZIP codes across the Pittsburgh metro (1,053,950 households). Here's where competition is densest, how the metro compares with Pennsylvania and the U.S., and the big ZIPs where fewer than 3 of a business type are recorded.

    Key findings

    • Wexford (15090) ranks among the 10 most crowded ZIPs in the metro for 11 of 16 business types, including dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians.
    • Pittsburgh has 1.5 times the U.S. rate of beauty salons per household: 0.93 per 1,000 households, against 0.61 nationally.
    • Pittsburgh has about 33% fewer veterinary practices per household than the U.S. as a whole (0.12 per 1,000 households, against 0.18).
    • Pittsburgh (15238) has 13 gyms and fitness centers for 5,649 households, about 10 times the metro rate.
    • Pittsburgh (15206), with 14,475 households, has fewer than 3 insurance agencies recorded. Counts under 3 aren't published, so it could be one or two.

    How to read the numbers

    • Counts cover business locations with paid employees, in 2023. Self-employed owners aren't included, so every count is a minimum.
    • Counts under 3 aren't published for a ZIP and business type, so "fewer than 3 recorded" can mean one, two, or none.
    • "Most crowded" ranks ZIPs with at least 2,000 households by businesses per 1,000 households. Downtowns and shopping districts rank high because they serve workers and visitors as well as residents.
    • The metro is the Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan area. A ZIP counts toward it when most of its land is in one of the metro's counties.
