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
$863 tract average vs. $989 citywide (-13%)
The tract average runs 13% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.
Comparison 3
Household income
$68,171 tract average vs. $61,944 citywide (+10%)
The tract average runs 10% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
