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
Monthly rent
$943 tract average vs. $1,526 citywide (-38%)
The listed tracts average 38% below the citywide median, a large separation that makes the tract rows more informative than the citywide figure alone.
Comparison 3
Home value
$143,388 tract average vs. $131,500 citywide (+9%)
The tract average runs 9% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
