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 45% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $58,447 to $84,803 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$8,315). 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 12.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 81.2% to 93.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.9pp). 27 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 (0.44 then, 0.43 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 4.4 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 7.6% to 11.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.1pp). 9 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 (47.9% then, 48.8% now; margin ±2.8pp).

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 (46.2% then, 44.2% now; margin ±4.2pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin AND is big enough to matter next to the peer spread.
No vehicle fell 1.6 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 6.8% to 5.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.5pp). 1 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 3.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 25.4% to 28.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.3pp). 16 of the 29 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started mid-pack and has reached a genuinely better level; worth investigating.
