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.

Largest observed gap

Household income

$69,534 tract average vs. $53,718 citywide (+29%)

A 29% premium over the citywide median makes this one of the clearer local contrasts on the page. The row-level values show whether it is broad or driven by a few tracts.

Comparison 2

Home value

$314,883 tract average vs. $330,900 citywide (-5%)

The tract average runs 5% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.

Comparison 3

Monthly rent

$1,151 tract average vs. $1,161 citywide (-1%)

The listed-tract figure sits within 1% of the citywide median. Treat this as broad agreement, not proof that every block has the same conditions.
