$98,117 tract average vs. $83,562 citywide (+17%)
A 17% 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.
$585,829 tract average vs. $669,500 citywide (-12%)

$1,711 tract average vs. $1,729 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.
