Pittsburgh is a major city and the second largest city in the US state of Pennsylvania (after Philadelphia). The city itself has a population of merely 305,704, which isn`t that big compared to Philadelphia. But the city`s metro area is what really counts, and it is the 22nd largest in the country with a total population of 2,356,285. The metro area covers 7 counties surrounding the city.
Historically, Pittsburgh was known as a steel mill city, yet there are presently no more steel mills left in the city - with only 2 left in the county. In place of the declined steel industry, the economy of Pittsburgh is now based on technology, healthcare, financial services, education, and more.
Pittsburgh is home to numerous professional sports teams, including the Pittsburgh Pirates (NBA), the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL), the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL), and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds (USL Soccer).
