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.

Largest observed gap

Home value

$201,391 tract average vs. $155,900 citywide (+29%)

A 29% 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 2

Household income

$77,811 tract average vs. $61,877 citywide (+26%)

A 26% 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

Monthly rent

$942 tract average vs. $1,097 citywide (-14%)

The tract average runs 14% below the citywide median. That modest difference shows why the tract table can refine a city-level starting point.
