Pittsburgh's retiree population — concentrated in South Hills communities (Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Peters Township), the North Hills (Wexford, Cranberry Township), and the eastern suburbs (Monroeville, Murrysville, Fox Chapel) — ships vehicles to Florida at high rates each October and November.
