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.

Household income
$82,491 tract average vs. $62,785 citywide (+31%)

$967 tract average vs. $1,097 citywide (-12%)
