Among "Rust Belt" cities, Pittsburgh has the highest income growth rate, and the fourth-highest per capita income (Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit). Milwaukee probably benefits from its close proximity to Chicago, but Pittsburgh seems like an oasis in the middle of an income-growth desert. Upstate New York lags badly in terms of income growth, and Ohio suffers except for Cincinnati and Columbus, which are both about mid-pack --- yet Pittsburgh is in the top 20. I wonder what makes Pittsburgh so much better off than its surrounding regions?
