What changed

Broadband rose 8.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 78.8% to 87.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp).

Broader trend
All similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. Dothan started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
Longer view
Broadband rose 14.8 percentage points from 2017 to 2024 (72.6% to 87.5%).

Child uninsured rose 1.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.4% to 3.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.
