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
Monthly rent
$788 tract average vs. $1,118 citywide (-30%)
The listed tracts average 30% below the citywide median, a large separation that makes the tract rows more informative than the citywide figure alone.

Home value
$199,220 tract average vs. $189,800 citywide (+5%)
