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 26% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $88,213 to $110,886 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,357). 29 of the 29 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (66.2% then, 67.0% now; margin ±1.4pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 2.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 29.3% to 31.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 8 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

No vehicle fell 0.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 4.3% to 3.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.6pp). 8 of the 29 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.
College attainment rose 3.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 58.4% to 61.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 27 of the 29 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 is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (60.1% then, 54.5% now; margin ±7.6pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Disconnected youth rose 4.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 4.9% to 9.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.8pp). 2 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 3% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 250,602 to 243,821 - more than the combined survey margin (±88). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 5 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
