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
Home value
$109,260 tract average vs. $75,000 citywide (+46%)
The listed tracts average 46% above the citywide median, the page's strongest warning that one municipal figure can hide a sharply different tract picture.
Comparison 3
Household income
$52,518 tract average vs. $48,750 citywide (+8%)
The tract average runs 8% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
