The population of Pittsburgh has steadily declined since 1950, when it peaked at 676,806 residents. While some people left the city proper for suburban communities within the region, many moved out of the area in search of jobs.
In 2000 the city had 334,563 persons, compared to 423,938 in 1980. Pittsburgh was the nation's 30th largest city in 1980, 40th largest city in 1990, and 54th largest city in 2000.
