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 24.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 72.5% to 96.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.4pp). 27 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 54.2% to 50.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 2 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Uninsured rose 2.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 5.6% to 7.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.6pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 3 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 clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 5.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 50.2% to 55.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.2pp). 14 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.
