> I live in a neighborhood where the median income is below the national average by about 10% and above the national average by about the same amount.

My brain is not parsing this sentence properly. Could you elaborate a touch?

I'm reading it as "the neighborhood median income is, at the same time, 10% below and 10% above the national average income", which is only possible if both the national average and your neighborhood median is 0. I presume I'm reading it wrong.
