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

Household income

$70,608 tract average vs. $57,068 citywide (+24%)

A 24% 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

Monthly rent

$817 tract average vs. $989 citywide (-17%)

A 17% 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

Home value

$171,940 tract average vs. $178,300 citywide (-4%)

The listed-tract figure sits within 4% of the citywide median. Treat this as broad agreement, not proof that every block has the same conditions.
