Landmarks recently completed a comprehensive list of GIS (geographic information system) maps depicting a number of important data sets in Wilkinsburg.

These data sets include: the level of tax delinquency of properties, abandoned structures, vacant tax delinquent land, foreclosures, section 8 rental units, available vacant parcels for a side-lot program, property sales, and crime statistics.

All maps give an overall picture of the Borough in addition to depiction the information by ward.

These maps will be an important source of information regarding development efforts in Wilkinsburg, and will be available shortly through the PHLF website.
