Where the tract view differs from the citywide view
How these gaps are calculated
These comparisons use the average of the tract medians listed on this page and the ACS citywide median. They are two different geographic summaries, so the gap is a reading aid rather than an estimate of a typical household.
Comparison 2
Home value
$294,600 tract average vs. $347,300 citywide (-15%)
A 15% discount to the citywide median is a material local contrast. Read the individual tract values before treating that gap as typical across the city.
Comparison 3
Household income
$75,433 tract average vs. $77,397 citywide (-3%)
The listed-tract figure sits within 3% of the citywide median. Treat this as broad agreement, not proof that every block has the same conditions.
