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
$737 tract average vs. $984 citywide (-25%)
A 25% 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
Home value
$123,900 tract average vs. $110,800 citywide (+12%)
The tract average runs 12% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
