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.

$660,559 tract average vs. $710,400 citywide (-7%)
The tract average runs 7% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.
Comparison 3
Household income
$94,136 tract average vs. $94,755 citywide (-1%)
