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 7.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 89.0% to 96.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 29 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.
College attainment rose 3.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.9% to 23.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 18 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.
