The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Household income rose about 27% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $75,323 to $95,815 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,537). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 4.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 90.3% to 94.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.8pp). 30 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the stronger third of similar-size cities and kept improving; worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Inequality rose about 6% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.41 to 0.44 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.01). None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (6.9% then, 7.0% now; margin ±1.0pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 3.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 32.8% to 36.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 29 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.
