===Expansion Management: Pittsburgh a Five-Star Quality of Life Metro===
A 2005 issue of Expansion Management magazine designated Pittsburgh MSA as a "Five-Star Quality of Life Metro" in its look at communities with a high quality of life. This designation is awarded to the top 20 percent of MSAs in the U.S. Areas in which regions are "graded" include continuing education, crime and standard of living. The Pittsburgh MSA's strongest score was in continuing education, where we ranked 12 out of 362.
