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
Home value
$223,343 tract average vs. $243,600 citywide (-8%)
The tract average runs 8% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.
Comparison 3
Monthly rent
$982 tract average vs. $990 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.
