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

Monthly rent

$1,563 tract average vs. $1,063 citywide (+47%)

The listed tracts average 47% above the citywide median, the page's strongest warning that one municipal figure can hide a sharply different tract picture.

Comparison 2

Household income

$93,388 tract average vs. $75,134 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 3

Home value

$319,174 tract average vs. $315,200 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.
