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 39% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $49,003 to $68,030 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$2,956). 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (19.3% then, 17.3% now; margin ±2.1pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
Child poverty fell 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 30.3% to 26.6% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 10 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 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 (0.43 then, 0.44 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 6.6 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 15.5% to 22.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 9 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Homeownership changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (40.0% then, 40.2% 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.
Cost burden fell 3.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 52.0% to 48.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.2pp). 1 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 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.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (3.4% then, 4.0% now; margin ±1.2pp). 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.
College attainment rose 2.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 12.2% to 15.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.4pp). 19 of the 29 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.

Population fell about 8% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 115,517 to 106,109 - more than the combined survey margin (±110).
