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.
Poverty changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (4.5% then, 4.9% now; margin ±1.2pp). 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.
Broadband rose 3.8 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 93.1% to 96.9% - more than the combined survey margin (±0.9pp).

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 0.43 - more than the combined survey margin (±0.02). 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.
SNAP changed less than the survey can measure between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys (3.2% then, 4.3% 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 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 (72.4% then, 72.0% now; margin ±2.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 5 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 (31.6% then, 34.8% now; margin ±3.5pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 5 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 within the margin, but each of the last 8 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 (4.5% then, 1.5% now; margin ±3.5pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 8 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*

Population fell about 5% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 89,699 to 85,522 - more than the combined survey margin (±98). That reverses the previous span, which went up between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys.
