Household counts are ACS 5-year estimates aggregated from the district's block groups. The tick marks the citywide family-household share.

About these figures. District totals are aggregated from census block groups. Median income, rent, and home value are population-weighted averages of block-group medians — approximations, not true district medians — so the citywide comparison shows relative standing, not exact dollars. ACS is a 5-year backward average; Esri current-year estimates are forward projections. See full methodology →
