Councilman
Corey O'Connor

Councilman O’Connor’s District 5 has a diverse geographic and demographic range in the East End. It includes the high-income neighborhood of Squirrel Hill South (home to Taylor Allderdice, the city’s largest high school) and Regent Square, middle-income Swisshelm Park and Greenfield, Hazelwood and Glen Hazel (which are nearly 50% minority), and, across the Mon River, Hays and Lincoln Place, the city’s only 100% non-minority neighborhood. 

 

Between 2007 and 2020, $1.6 billion in loan dollars were approved in District 5, 13.9% of all loan dollars citywide during this period. The $1 billion in loans approved to just one neighborhood, Squirrel Hill South, dwarfed loan dollars to all minority neighborhoods ($807 million).

*Note: Bank lending to Hazelwood also includes Hays and Glen Hazel.

Councilman O’Connor’s public funds were ranked third of all the districts, with $213 million, but this amount was dwarfed by the bank lending of $1.6 billion. Bank lending represented 88.5% of all investment in District 5. Councilman O’Connor’s district had no minority communities, so there was no public or private investment in these areas.
