The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.46 then, 0.46 now; margin ±0.01).

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.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (38.1% then, 38.7% now; margin ±1.4pp). 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.*

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.
Working parents changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (66.4% then, 62.5% now; margin ±4.7pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
