Median household income

▲ Higher is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 19% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $47,081 to $55,792 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$1,741). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 30 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: household income rose about 33% from 2014 to 2024 ($42,026 to $55,792).

Cost burden rose 2.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 28.2% to 30.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Children without health insurance

▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

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. 6 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 6 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: child uninsured rose 0.1 percentage points from 2014 to 2024 (3.5% to 3.6%).

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. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.
