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 22% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $55,309 to $67,511 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$4,754). 30 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Broadband rose 5.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 87.9% to 93.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 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.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.45 then, 0.45 now; margin ±0.02).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 3.6 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 21.1% to 24.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 7 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (39.8% then, 41.5% now; margin ±2.7pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 5.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 49.8% to 55.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.8pp). 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.

Uninsured fell 1.3 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 7.7% to 6.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 10 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 2.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 20.9% to 23.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.0pp). 20 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.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 103,186 to 104,449 - more than the combined survey margin (±83). 21 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 3 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
