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

$79,986 tract average vs. $63,900 citywide (+25%)

A 25% 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

Monthly rent

$1,372 tract average vs. $1,161 citywide (+18%)

A 18% 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 3

Home value

$374,852 tract average vs. $350,300 citywide (+7%)

The tract average runs 7% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
