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
$54,364 tract average vs. $49,025 citywide (+11%)
The tract average runs 11% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
Comparison 3
Home value
$125,640 tract average vs. $140,700 citywide (-11%)
The tract average runs 11% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.
