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 $85,530 to $108,092 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$6,705). 30 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Child poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (5.7% then, 7.6% now; margin ±2.6pp).

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 2.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 91.5% to 94.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp). 27 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 3.7 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 4.5% to 8.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.2pp). 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, in the wrong direction for this metric. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth rose 2.4 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 1.1% to 3.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 2 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.
