The last 12 months moved in the better direction. The multi-year trend has not (yet) passed the checks below, so no sustained-improvement claim is made. It is also improving faster than most of the selected peers.
Violent crime fell about 17% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 75% of similar-size cities.

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 $114,405 to $139,804 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$11,714). 29 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.

Child poverty fell 1.9 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 6.1% to 4.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.7pp). 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.

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 1.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 94.7% to 95.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.0pp). 28 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.
Inequality rose about 7% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 0.40 to 0.42 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). 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 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 (69.5% then, 69.7% now; margin ±2.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 3 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (28.6% then, 31.3% now; margin ±3.2pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 3 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured fell 1.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 2.5% to 0.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.1pp). 5 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 AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
College attainment rose 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 51.2% to 54.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.0pp). 18 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.
Preschool enrollment fell 14.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 65.8% to 51.1% - more than the combined survey margin (±12.1pp). 5 of the 29 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 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.1% then, 1.1% now; margin ±3.4pp). The newest releases lean downward: 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Single-parent changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (14.5% then, 13.2% now; margin ±3.8pp).
