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 30% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $69,379 to $90,045 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$7,858). 30 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.

Poverty fell 3.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 29.0% to 25.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.4pp). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 6 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.
SNAP rose 5.8 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 3.6% to 9.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 5 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.
Cost burden rose 3.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 43.2% to 47.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.7pp). 1 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 68,543 to 66,978 - more than the combined survey margin (±92). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 7 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction.
