Preschool enrollment fell 22.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 37.0% to 14.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±9.0pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

▸ Where is this changing? 19 census tracts
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.
