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 (0.44 then, 0.43 now; margin ±0.03).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Cost burden changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (39.9% then, 41.1% now; margin ±4.0pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
No vehicle rose 1.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 3.4% to 5.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 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.
College attainment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (43.5% then, 46.4% now; margin ±3.1pp). 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 is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Preschool enrollment changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (48.6% then, 43.2% now; margin ±13.0pp).

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 (5.4% then, 1.6% now; margin ±4.7pp). 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.*

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose less than 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 56,026 to 56,258 - more than the combined survey margin (±107). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 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.*
