PITTSBURGH'S INCOME TAXPAYERS 
Seventy-eight of each 1,000 residents of Pittsburgh receive 
sufficiently large incomes to require them to file tax returns 
with the Federal Government at Washington. 
Pittsburgh leads the principal industrial cities of the 
nation in the number of income taxpayers in proportion to 
population, it is shown by the newest analysis to be made by 
:he U. 8. Treasury department. 
Detroit has 72 income taxpayers to each 1,000 residents. 
Boston 54, St. Louis 62, Philadelphia 48 and Cleveland 39. 
Pittsburgh’s leadership in this respect indicates that 
prosperity is more widely distributed among the families of 
that city than among those of the other industrial communities 
listed above.
