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
$749 tract average vs. $1,096 citywide (-32%)
The listed tracts average 32% below the citywide median, a large separation that makes the tract rows more informative than the citywide figure alone.
Comparison 3
Household income
$57,668 tract average vs. $46,180 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.
