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
$752 tract average vs. $1,369 citywide (-45%)
The listed tracts average 45% below the citywide median, a large separation that makes the tract rows more informative than the citywide figure alone.
Comparison 3
Home value
$95,357 tract average vs. $86,900 citywide (+10%)
The tract average runs 10% above the citywide median, a modest separation worth checking against the individual rows before drawing a local conclusion.
