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 35% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $132,320 to $178,798 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$12,209). 30 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 3.7 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 8.7% to 5.0% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). 10 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 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.
Inequality changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.40 then, 0.42 now; margin ±0.02). 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, in the wrong direction for this metric.
SNAP rose 2.1 percentage points between the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 surveys, from 3.5% to 5.7% - more than the combined survey margin (±1.3pp). 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 clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Homeownership fell 6.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 64.4% to 58.4% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.3pp). 5 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. Margins at this size are wide (low-reliability estimate); read the level, not the pace.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (0.6% then, 1.1% now; margin ±0.9pp).

College attainment rose 7.5 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 50.7% to 58.2% - more than the combined survey margin (±3.3pp). 19 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.

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population fell about 1% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 79,517 to 78,578 - more than the combined survey margin (±75). 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 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.
Working parents changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (59.6% then, 68.2% now; margin ±10.0pp). 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.*
