What this figure includes

Tornado and hurricane repairs are combined; the survey does not price a named storm or damage severity.

The Census category is “Tornado/hurricane” within “Disaster Repairs.” Different project sizes, specifications and amounts of work contribute to the median. The survey does not hold those features constant.

Use it beside a written scope

Are emergency protection, debris removal and permanent repairs quoted separately?

A difference between this figure and your quote does not by itself make the quote high or low. Separate material quantities, removal, preparation, access and excluded work before comparing contractors.

Then use your project budget worksheet to keep actual prices and unresolved work separate.
