Household income rose about 32% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $62,276 to $82,314 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,462). 29 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.

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 7.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 86.5% to 93.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.8pp). 28 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.

Beyond the survey margin, but small next to the spread across these peers.
Inequality fell about 5% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.40 to 0.38 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). None of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same 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.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (10.4% then, 12.0% now; margin ±1.9pp). 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.*

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
No vehicle fell 1.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 5.2% to 4.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; 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 3.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.4% 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Preschool enrollment fell 12.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 38.6% to 26.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±11.1pp). 8 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (9.3% then, 9.0% now; margin ±5.4pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell less than 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 87,373 to 86,995 - more than the combined survey margin (±79). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 4 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
