County of Allegheny, PAThe Allegheny County Health Department has teamed up with local partners through the CDC-funded Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) grant to address health disparities within identified priority communities. The coalition aims to improve health, prevent chronic diseases, and reduce health disparities among residents with the highest risk, or burden, of chronic disease. The communities that our partners are currently prioritizing include Clairton, Duquesne, McKeesport, North Braddock, North Versailles, Rankin, and Wilkinsburg and the neighborhoods of the Northside, Homewood/Larimer, the Hill District, Garfield, Hazelwood, West End, and the Hilltop in the City of Pittsburgh.

Using a 3-step custom sort the census tracts were ranked to determine the census tracts with the highest number and percent of black residents living below the FPL. The previous grant cycle (2018) focused on 6 regions that fit this criteria and 3 additional regions were added in 2023. Neighborhoods with a high student population were excluded from the final list of census tracts including Oakland, Bluff, Southside Flats, and Southside Slopes.
