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

$112,155 tract average vs. $89,700 citywide (+25%)

A 25% 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

$844 tract average vs. $1,063 citywide (-21%)

A 21% 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

Household income

$59,688 tract average vs. $52,751 citywide (+13%)

The tract average runs 13% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
