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
$57,562 tract average vs. $77,826 citywide (-26%)
A 26% 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
$255,700 tract average vs. $295,700 citywide (-14%)
The tract average runs 14% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.
