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.

Largest observed gap

Home value

$117,545 tract average vs. $92,400 citywide (+27%)

A 27% premium over the citywide median makes this one of the clearer local contrasts on the page. The row-level values show whether it is broad or driven by a few tracts.

Comparison 2

Household income

$61,621 tract average vs. $56,994 citywide (+8%)

The tract average runs 8% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.

Comparison 3

Monthly rent

$1,002 tract average vs. $989 citywide (+1%)

The listed-tract figure sits within 1% of the citywide median. Treat this as broad agreement, not proof that every block has the same conditions.
