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
Household income
$45,358 tract average vs. $36,250 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 3
Home value
$128,060 tract average vs. $115,700 citywide (+11%)
The tract average runs 11% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
