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
$58,239 tract average vs. $55,578 citywide (+5%)
The tract average runs 5% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
Comparison 3
Home value
$148,958 tract average vs. $144,200 citywide (+3%)
The listed-tract figure sits within 3% of the citywide median. Treat this as broad agreement, not proof that every block has the same conditions.
