The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (26.9% then, 28.7% now; margin ±2.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
No vehicle rose 0.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.4% to 3.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.7pp). That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Single-parent changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (23.5% then, 25.6% now; margin ±4.7pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
