The Black Pittsburgh Satisfaction and Retention Survey is aimed at those 18 years of age and above who self-identify as Black or African-American and live in the Pittsburgh region.

The survey was launched by B-PEP in December and is being conducted by the Center on Race and Social Problems at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Social Work.

Its organizers said of the survey, “We are trying to capture the different experiences of what it means to be Black and live in this city, and what are the strengths that would make people want to live here long term as well as the challenges that might be contributing to the loss of Black residents.”

The survey launched on December 2 and will accept responses until March 31. The results of the survey will be shared later in the year.
