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
Household income
$74,162 tract average vs. $56,536 citywide (+31%)
The listed tracts average 31% above the citywide median, the page's strongest warning that one municipal figure can hide a sharply different tract picture.
Comparison 3
Monthly rent
$859 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.
